A pilot borrows a client's LiDAR payload for one mission. Does the pilot's own equipment policy automatically cover it?

Answer

Not necessarily. Check whether hired in, borrowed, leased, or customer owned equipment is covered and who is responsible for loss under the contract.

Explanation

Ownership matters in first party cover. Contractual responsibility for borrowed equipment can create a gap between who owns the item and who must pay if it is damaged.
