ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
In its petition for rehearing respondent complains of the terms of the mandate in the original opinion limiting the issue as to whether the insured had any duties aboard the aircraft by the phrase, “at the time of the accident,” and has requested that the mandate be amended to direct the trial court to review the evidence and any additional evidence either party may present “on the issue as to whether insured’s death resulted from a risk not assumed by respondent under the provisions of paragraph 3(b), page 8” of the insurance policy. The request is granted. We adopt respondent’s statement of the issue to be reconsidered by the trial court.
Respondent also requests leave to amend so as to allege paragraph 3(b) of the policy as an affirmative defense. Such a motion may be addressed to the trial court. However, we deem an amendment unnecessary because the paragraph and the defense urged pursuant thereto were affirmatively pleaded in the answer.
SMITH, McQUADE, McFADDEN and SPEAR, JJ., concur.
