      The City doesn’t appear to realize that the Insurance company has more opinion about which flight instructor is suitable to instruct you in your airplane than the FAA does. The City appears to believe that any newly minted flight instructor working for an FBO is sufficient to instruct you in your multi million dollar airplane.

      Your insurance company probably will not agree. In my experience, experienced instructors that your Insurance company will like are Independent Flight Instructors.

        Deschutes County thinks that my hangar structure (building only – NO dirt) is worth $361,590. That is more money than I’m selling my hangar for.

        My assessed value is $173,960. That is what I pay property taxes on:

        If the City of Bend refuses to extend my lease, and takes over my hangar structure for public use, haven’t they taken $361,590 of my property without compensation? Wouldn’t they have violated the Fifth Amendment: “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”?
