RWR Pilot Training is Fully Insured for In-Aircraft Flight Training and Ground Instruction
My insurance policy covers us for bodily injury and property damage, including your airplane (M350, M500, M600, Matrix, Malibu, Mirage, Meridian, JetProp). It also includes my professional liability insurance. This insurance is expensive and not available to inexperienced PA46 instructors. I know of no other qualified instructor with this insurance.
I will also ask you to request a Certificate of Insurance with a Waiver of Subrogation from your broker naming me as additionally insured. This request is a standard in the industry. In addition to the extra coverage it provides, it allows us to verify in writing that your underwriter will accept my training program. I am unable to fly with you until I have this document. If you intend to operate as a self-insured owner or if your underwriter requires it, I will ask you to sign an indemnification agreement.
Customer Comments
Mad respect to Mr. Rochfort and his professional approach to flight training. Thank you for the book PA46_SOP. Some good information for all pilots of any aircraft Posi P via YouTube
Thanks for posting. You have a great instructing technique. I like some of the simplified callouts too. They’re easy to remember. “What’s next?” will always keep the pilot flying ahead of the situation. Bill R via YouTube
Once again, another great example of high-quality instruction (one CFII to another). Solid process, redundancy, reliance on technology (not dependence), helping with radio work (by example), keeping it safe and simple and knowing the numbers rote. As usual, the lightest touch commands the greatest respect. Well done. David M. via YouTube

Dr. Jonathan Wilson 3 weeks ago Linked comment Hi Dick – I appreciate your excellent efforts in promoting flight safety. This video is a great example.
