As far as I recall, the US Government Joint Travel Regulations (JTRs) make provision for government employees to fly their privately-owned aircraft when on TDY for official business. The context of my recollection was reading a statement about the dollar amount that the employee flying his own aircraft could claim; it was limited to what would be paid for an automobile (POV - Privately Owned Vehicle) taking the same trip (that, in turn, is limited to the commercial airline fare the gov't would pay for the same trip, if POV travel turned out to be more expensive than that). Also as far as I recall, the JTR's apply to all gov't travel (except maybe State Department), not just DoD, so you should be able to find more details from the personnel office of any largish federal gov't installation or complex nearby. Insurance doesn't enter into it -- the gov't is a "self-insurer" (they can always raise taxes, right? :-). Will

If you take another with orders on the same flight then they pay you 27 cents a mile and all tiedown fees etc.
