If insurance is already secondary for members, why continue paying $75 a year when I can pay FAA $5 for three and take my chances on something that invokes my homeowners?
Doesn't matter if you are AMA or not, a liability claim against you will always invoke your homeowners right up to the limit of coverage before AMA coverage is invoked.
