I am helping a low time pilot fly newly acquired aircraft about 1200nm to his home. He has very few hours in this model. Basically, I’m along for the trip as his “safety pilot” to keep him out of trouble. He will be PIC .
I‘m wondering if in this capacity it would be advisable to be a named insured versus flying under the open pilot provision. I am a CFI so if something goes wrong maybe the insurance company will try to get into my pocket.
The pilot has not heard yet from his insurance company if X number of hours with an instructor will be required. If that turns out to be required then I would be acting as a CFI. Would that change the equation?
Any advice appreciated ..
