Terry,
no idea on the break down, and frankly I don't care.
I know that there is a proportion of insurance to cover me as an
instructor against a personal claim from the passenger (or their
estate if I do a good enough job of messing up). This is insurance
that a) I doubt I could actually get except through a group scheme
like this, and b) even if I could would be more than $20 per flight.
I am reliably informed that the insurance that the GFA has is NOT
available to any other group - and they have tried, and is only
available to the GFA because it is continued - if stopped, it would
never be available again.
My professional indemnity insurance for a low risk business with
potential liability way below that required as an instructor would
work out at about $75 per flight based on the number of instructing
flights I do.
The alternative that the GFA would have used would have been to raise
the membership costs for everyone, or increase the form 2 costs, or
something else. This is the only cost that doesn't actually have a
direct cost on all of us, unless a club is stupid enough not to pass
this cost on.

One point is unclear to this GFA bottom feeder, possibly to others
too. Robert, or anyone else in the current GFA machine, can you
enlighten us please?
Does this $20 contain any sort of insurance recovery component, or
is it simply what some people are seeing here - straight fee/tax by
GFA on each passenger /AEF flight with no discernible benefit or
service to the aircraft operator/club itself additional to that
which it already pays in keeping the aircraft in the GFA system?
Can we have a breakdown please when you have a moment or five?
Regards,
Terry
