Airport Requirements
Many airports and FBOs require proof of liability insurance ($1M minimum) for based aircraft and transient operations. Certificate of insurance naming the airport/FBO as additional insured is common.
No state law in Iowa requires aircraft insurance for private operations. The FAA does not mandate insurance for GA aircraft either. However, liability coverage is strongly recommended and is typically required by lenders and airports. An estimated 10-20% of GA aircraft fly uninsured (GAO-15-740).
