SPECIAL NOTICES

1. Legal Liability Insurance. All non-state owned aircraft flying in Germany must carry a certificate covering third party liability. The liability insurance shall cover personal and property damage caused to a third person not transported in the aircraft during the operation of the aircraft. The amount to be insured is determined in Para 37 LUFTVG (FRG AIR LAW). Instead of obtaining a liability insurance, guarantee may also be given by depositing money or securities. The certificate shall contain the maximum permissible weight of the aircraft, the amount insured, and the period of insurance coverage and be issued in German, English, French or Spanish. If such a certificate is not carried, operation of the aircraft after its first landing within the area of applicability of the LUFTVG may only be continued if liability insurance has been obtained for this operation.

2. Air Passenger Accident Insurance. Aircraft operating agencies are obligated to insure the passengers against accidents. In case of embarkation of new passengers in the FRG in nonscheduled commercial traffic, an air passenger accident insurance certificate shall be submitted to the Federal Minister of Transportation as outlined below, and carried on board.

3. The insurance certificate shall be effected as follows:

Name of insurance company:

Address:

Date:

Insurance certificate:

We, ...(Insurance Company)... herewith declare that we have effected an air passenger accident insurance in the name of ...(aircraft operating agency)... for those passengers embarking aircraft owned or operated by this agency within the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany. From the insurance, payments of DM 35,000 in case of death, DM 35,000 in case of permanent disability will be made for each passenger. The insurance begins at the time of embarkation and ends upon disembarkation in the Federal Republic of Germany. Payments due to this insurance will also be made even if a legal liability does not exist. As far as payments due to this insurance are made, the compensation claim will lapse. This insurance will be valid from ......... (time) until ......... (time).
