Airport Requirements
Many California airports and FBOs require proof of liability insurance ($1M minimum) for based aircraft and transient operations.
California has a post-accident financial responsibility law (Aircraft Financial Responsibility Act, PUC Div. 9, Part 5, §24200-24451). This does NOT require insurance before flying. After an accident, the state department determines security to be deposited — failure to comply leads to suspension of registration and operating privileges. Insurance is one way to satisfy this, along with surety bonds, cash deposits, or letters of credit. Pre-flight insurance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.
