Insurance companies just write checks. They're not in the repair business. It's definitely an owner problem.
I heard of a 421 driver who was grounded for over a year because he had a gear collapse with an Robertson STOL airplane and it wrecked the flaps & tracks. The insurance company wanted to pay the last published list price for the parts, even though they weren't available from Sierra any longer. His position was that since the parts didn't actually exist and had to be custom fabricated at great cost, the airframe should actually be totaled. I believe they ended up in court; I don't know the final outcome other than he didn't fly for a long time.
