Hi all,

Hawaii has a $1 million liability insurance requirement on any aircraft based at an airport in the state. They just announced that they are going to increase this requirement to $2 million. This apparently applies without concern for whether the aircraft is located in a hangar or tied down outside and without concern for the type or size of aircraft. We in Chapter 1182 in Hilo would like to collect some data for what the requirements are at airports on the mainland, because this seems completely unreasonable. (This is in addition to a monthly cost of over $100 for a tiedown and over $500 for a rusty old T-hangar.)

If people could post the requirements at their home airport, I'd appreciate it. We are looking to petition the state and possibly also the FAA about this.

Thanks,
