Airport Requirements
Many Massachusetts airports and FBOs require proof of liability insurance ($1M minimum) for based aircraft and transient operations.
Massachusetts adopted the Uniform Aircraft Financial Responsibility Act (Gen. Laws Ch. 90, §49B-49T). This is a post-accident security requirement — NOT a pre-flight insurance mandate. After an accident, the state may require a security deposit within 30 days. Minimums are extremely low ($5,000 per person, $10,000 per occurrence, $5,000 property damage) — unchanged since adoption in the 1950s. Pre-flight insurance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.
