I'm not sure if a waiver of liability would even hold up in court.

First question, are you a commercial pilot?

Sounds like he wants to know if he can fly himself around for the company he works for.

And the answer from most companies is a resounding NO. You may want to look higher up than your immediate boss for an answer.

I will assume you intended to note that you will be flying as part of your work duties, but the wife is concerned about liability. I can't think of an effective liability waiver that you could sign. If you hurt someone else during and in the course of your employment duties, your employer will likely be held liable, regardless of any waiver you sign. If you are hurt during and in the course of your employment duties, you are covered by workers' comp. You can't waive substantive workers' comp. rights. In any case, I would be careful about signing anything purporting to waive their liability without having a lawyer I trust take a quick look at it.

OSU (Oregon State University) allows you to fly yourself around for work. They just say "we'd rather not know so don't tell us". They'll even cover some of your expenses (as long as it's not more than an airline ticket would cost)!

If your boss has commercial liability insurance, then he might want to pull out his policy and call the insurance company.

If you just want to do it without telling anyone...man oh man. Don't crash. Even if you walk away, you'll still be in a world of hurt.

He's asking if he can fly himself around (as opposed to hopping an airline flight) to travel on company business.

And like I said above, the majority of the time the answer is a huge "no way."

He can do it if his employer is willing to list him as a Comp Code 7425 - Aircraft Ops NOC. The rate is $32.99 per $100 in payroll in Florida.

He does not need a commercial certificate for this operation as the flying is "incidental to the business."
