Airport Requirements
Many South Carolina airports and FBOs require proof of liability insurance ($1M minimum) for based aircraft and transient operations.
South Carolina adopted the Uniform Aircraft Financial Responsibility Act per the Uniform Law Commission. This is a post-accident security requirement — NOT a pre-flight insurance mandate. After an accident, the state may require a security deposit; failure to comply leads to suspension of registration. Insurance is one acceptable method, along with surety bonds or cash deposits. Pre-flight insurance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.
