Airport Requirements
Many Connecticut airports and FBOs require proof of liability insurance ($1M minimum) for based aircraft and transient operations.
Connecticut adopted the Uniform Aircraft Financial Responsibility Act (Gen. Stat. Ch. 267, §15-102 to 15-120f). This is a post-accident security requirement — NOT a pre-flight insurance mandate. After an accident, the executive director determines a security amount within 30 days; failure to deposit leads to registration suspension. Bond/policy minimums are $10,000 per person / $20,000 per occurrence (set in 1954, never updated). Pre-flight insurance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.
