I think we understand your reasoning Al and at least in my
case, I respect your opinion.? What can
become tiresome for me and perhaps others is that you make your point over and
over and over again.?? On the other side
of the argument, there are a handful of folks here who tell us over and over
and over again how any deviation from the norm regardless of how minor will
void our insurance or cause us to lose our wealth through litigation.? Jerry
Eichenberger, who makes his living
dealing with such things, took the time to explain to us that this just does
not happen, at least in his experience.? He
also gave us a reason why it does not happen (see below).? He said these things
once.? Although these issues have come up several
times since, he did not feel the need to repeat himself and I think that is
very cool.
?
No disrespect is intended toward anyone, I have learned
things from all of you.

Al said:? I'm not going to change my opinion
on this?and additional participation fortifies the fact that not many
people are getting my reasoning.

Jerry said

As to the
airplane, if it has a properly signed off annual, that's all I've ever seen an
insurer worry about to satisfy the airworthiness part of the requirements.?
?
As for
insurance - many eons ago, some policies contained what was then known as a
"violation of FAR" clause, which voided coverage if the pilot
violated an FAR.? This concept was
dropped from insurance policies at least 20 years ago, probably much longer ago
than that.? Because, it became apparent
to courts that it's almost impossible to have an accident without violating
some FAR or operating limitation, so that clause, if applied, would void
coverage for almost all accidents.
