I think everyone knows it's optional.
Sorry Steve, I wasn't asking for insurance, I was asking the knowledge base at Avidyne, the source of the waiver, for possibly a statement, "We know of company XYZ and they will cover our waiver and others have been successful in using them, but YMMV". Right now I'm wondering if such a company exists, so I can weigh it's cost/benefit with the extra warranty coverage. I know this is an unpopular subject, but I'm trying to find a way to take advantage of it if possible and share what I learn with others.
I've tried to do my due diligence and contact a lawyer specializing in aviation liability law, and a very knowledgeable insurance broker without successful path forward. As such I turned to the forums. Maybe I could have rewritten the previous post a little better, and I apologize if it was taken as a jab.
In summary, I would like to extend my warranty, but at what cost?
I wasn't overly concerned till I read about the Cirrius wreck with Sandel EHSI. There's no way I could control the outcome of such a mess (esp if dead), nor could I assume that kind of risk to my estate.
I can't control the other idiots in the world, trust me I try. I can't protect other companies from the other idiots either. Just like "Avidyne is not in the insurance broker business.", neither am I and thus far I can't find insurance to cover the waiver, but I'll keep looking and will post anything I find.
