Perfect — here’s a mini demo script with 4 staged conversations. Each one shows how your co-pilot buddy should behave live, including brief first, then gentle insurance pivot.
Pilot: “What’s the current status at KAUG?”
Go-NoGo:
“KAUG is clear right now — skies are mostly sunny, winds light from the west, 10 miles visibility, and temps in the upper 60s. A few high clouds may move in later, but VFR holds all day. Want me to check NOTAMs for your departure?”
(No insurance mention, because no rental context.)
Pilot: “I’m renting a Piper Archer this weekend out of Manassas — can you check the weather?”
Go-NoGo:
“Looking good out of Manassas — clear skies, 72°F, light winds, visibility over 10 miles. The only factor is early morning mist around 6 AM Saturday, clearing quickly. Otherwise, it’s smooth VFR flying. Want me to pull the NOTAMs too?”
Go-NoGo (insurance nudge):
“By the way, since it’s a rental — do you usually carry renter’s insurance, or want me to walk you through it?”
(Pilot can say yes/no. If yes → pitch.)
Pilot: “Planning some pattern work in a flight school Cessna 172 at KAUG — what’s the outlook today?”
Go-NoGo:
“Perfect for pattern work — clear skies, winds from 260° at 6 knots, visibility greater than 10 miles. VFR all day with just some scattered clouds late. A couple comm outlets are out of service, but nothing that affects pattern ops. Want me to grab runway info too?”
