Anyone do a plane wash as a fundraiser?

[JeffDG]

Just wondering...since our cadets are in fact around a lot of planes...for instance at Blue Beret, how does CAP cover damage our cadets might do to an aircraft?

At Blue Beret CAP is working for the EAA and if I am not mistaken, CAP is covered by their insurance since are working as a "contractor" for EAA.

Contractors are generally required to maintain their own insurance.

"Generally" doesn't matter. What counts is the "specifically," as outlined in the contract. (I certainly hope that liability and indemnification are addressed, somewhere, somehow, in that document).

Regardless of what it says in the CAP-EAA contract, a damaged aircraft owner is not bound to the terms of that contract (odds are said aircraft owner is not a party to the contract) and is entirely free to seek redress from either or both parties.

Sure. But seek doesn't mean get.

If CAP is liable, yes it does.

CAP would then need to seek reimbursement from EAA.  An indemnification clause does not change a damaged party's right to demand payment from CAP.

And...get comes after liable which comes after seek. So what point are you trying to make?

(If it's the last word you are trying to achieve, I'll step aside. You can respond with a simple "A" and your goal will have been met).

As I understand it, CAP personnel have previously damaged privately owned aircraft at AirVenture and CAP or the member involved had to pay for the damage. This is why we generally don't touch aircraft as a part of our duties.
