....I might be helping my flight school develop a written policy for flight operations, establishing things like weather minimums, minimum experience levels to fly at night, etc.
My question is, how would you establish reasonable criteria that balances the need to gain experience and learn versus the need to prevent accidents and protect flight school assets?

In all honesty, I am surprised that the insurance company has not already set those limits.
I know the flight school where I trained, they had limits that varied from student, to ppl, to with/without CFI. Weather was of course the issue. How much wind, how cold, wx at destination, etc.....
Short of wind, the wx mins were VFR for VFR pilots and IFR was just that. If you had the ratings and were checked out in the plane they would allow you to fly. I would hatea to have trained for my IFR ticket and then have the school not rent to me in IFR conditions.....
The only night restrictions that I can recall were "No student pilot solo flight at night".
I don't know how else you can do it short of basic wind requirements and relative to the certificate held......
I am sure that doesn't help much, but I would be interested to see what you come up with.
