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? :-).
