Just a quick sense check, but what are your views on the following:
I have a tailwheel endorsement on my licence. I am getting checked out on another tailwheel (not one I have flown before) by someone who is not an instructor or CRI, but a member of the syndicate which I have joined and I am listed on the insurance. The “checkout” is rather a familiarisation of the aircraft, on which the syndicate member has over 700 hours on that aircraft.
A passing instructor told me that I need to be checked out on that aircraft by an instructor or it could invalidate the insurance cover.
I have not seen anything in the insurance which says anything about an instructor checkout, just that my insurance premium will be higher for the first 25 hours.
Does this make sense to anyone? I just want to be sure about this – I would want the insurance to work if there was unfortunately a reason to call on it.
Thanks!
