If the IV is or becomes un-insurable what does that mean for Lancair's future?  I would think insurance companies would just start adding other Lancair models to the list of un-insurables too. 

Whats wrong with mandatory initial training?

John, Bryan & other like minded individuals,

In case you have been living on another planet these last few months you may not be aware of the crisis our deceased Lancair brethren have created.

1. If you own a Lancair IV series aircraft you have been informed by AIG that they will not renew your insurance policy due to the Lancair losses this past year (and not all Lancair losses are IV's). Although I was paying over $7000/ year for hull and liability-- I may not be able to get it at all. Thank you very much. 

2. The FAA is seriously considering making mandatory initial training by an approved CFI prior to acting as PIC. Thank you very, very much.

These aircraft are not toys. Please fly responsibly. We do not need any more accidents. If you post your stuff on youtube.com--do not be shocked that someone thinks negatively of you actions.


Best Regards,

Jeff

Subject: [LML] Legacy video

 Hi,
 
 
 
 I've never posted on the LML before but I'd like to respond to those unhappy
 with the Legacy videos.
 
 
 
 I posted a video of my Legacy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htM9K3BwXbU and
 what you see is a "low approach" directly over the runway a maneuver that is
 perfectly legal and safe. Everybody I have met that has seen the video has
 enjoyed it.  I'm sorry that some feel it demonstrates reckless behavior, I
 simply disagree. I built my airplane to enjoy and I'm proud of the video we
 shot.  For those that may be unhappy with my video I'd rather you just
 appreciate it for what it is and go on your way without comment.
