The Facts about Aircraft Insurance Deductibles

Wednesday, July 16th, 2014

When shopping for any medium of insurance, deductibles tend to be a top concern. Most insurance policies, whether for your car or medical insurance, contain some sort of deductible. Aircraft insurance policies can contain deductibles, too, but can be handled in a way that is different than the other policies you may be used to.

Fact 1: There is no such thing as a hidden deductible.

Some aviation insurance companies claim in their advertising that they have no hidden deductibles when the truth is that there is no such thing as a hidden deductible. Each carrier is upfront about these and since AIR believes in service with integrity, these are represented clearly when obtaining a quote.

Fact 2: Most light aircraft policies have a set deductible

Aircraft insurance premiums are based on pilot experience as well as the aircraft type and hull value. Currently, most insurance carriers have set or fixed deductibles, including many that offer $0 deductibles for all the aircraft they insure. In effort to streamline policy processing and market conditions, the majority of aviation insurance companies have eliminated deductible options.

Fact 3: There are two types of deductibles: In Motion and Not in Motion

Aircraft insurance policies contain two types of deductibles: those for claims that happen while the aircraft is in motion and those while it is not in motion. As the definition of “in motion” can vary, it is important to read the wording in the definitions section of your policy. Your deductibles will be clearly stated on the declarations page of your policy as well as on your quotation from Aviation Insurance Resources.

Before purchasing aircraft insurance, whether you’ll be flying a Cessna 150 or a Cessna Citation to a seaplane or a helicopter, it is important to know the facts. Sometimes, the subject of deductibles can be confusing. We hope this blog has provided some insight for your research. As always, our agents and pilots at AIR look forward to sharing those facts with you.

To learn more about your policies deductibles or to receive an aircraft insurance quote, please contact Aviation Insurance Resources by calling 877-247-7767 or visit AIR-PROS.com today! You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.

Is Your Aircraft Insurance Policy Below Industry Standards? –Part 3

Wednesday, July 9th, 2014

We invite you to explore your options in aviation insurance. Direct aircraft insurance writer, AVEMCO, promotes that they are the only insurance carrier to provide coverage in the event of a loss when an individual’s medical, flight review or aircraft annual has lapsed.  In fact, most insurance companies that Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) represents cover this type of loss.

Most pilots are responsible, detail oriented people who maintain currency on their flight review,  medical certificate (if required) and annual inspection.  However, sometimes in our busy lifestyles time gets away from us and it may be easy for that end of the month responsibility to quickly pass by. It is important to remember that whenever you sign an aircraft insurance application with any company including AVEMCO  you are attesting to the terms and conditions on that application. In most cases, that also includes your currency at that point in time. If you are not current at the time of signing make sure you note that on your application so you are not attesting to something that is not a true statement.

We are pilots and aircraft owners and don’t believe in “gotchyas!” or surprise loopholes in aircraft policies. If you have a concern, we can address this with you upfront before binding coverage. Open your eyes to a better value!

To see if your policy is up to industry standards, please contact Aviation Insurance Resources by calling 877-247-7767 or visit AIR-PROS.com today and receive your aircraft insurance quote! You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.

Is Your Aircraft Insurance Policy Below Industry Standards?

Wednesday, June 25th, 2014

We invite you to explore your options in aviation insurance.  You don’t have to limit yourself to one direct writer of insurance such as AVEMCO.  Broader coverage is available to you today!

The fact is, if your policy is written on a “per person” instead of a “per passenger” basis, you have below the industry standard in coverage!  The majority of insurance companies today write their policies on a “per passenger” policy form.  Over recent times, aviation insurance policies have favored more “inclusive” language at affordable premiums thanks to increased competition.  Insurance companies have had to increase policy benefits at competitive prices-Great news for the aircraft owner!

However, as they say, “Buyer Beware!”  There are still some old fashion insurance companies that feel they can get by with a “per person” policy limit banking on the consumer simply looking at the bottom line price.  The truth is, superior coverage is readily available at surprisingly competitive premiums!

Aviation Insurance Resources is an industry leading aviation insurance agency that has access to all the major aviation insurance markets.  All of our agents are pilots so we understand the aviation industry’s needs. We strive to provide the best policy at the best premium in every situation.

It’s No Surprise – Increased Limits are Available for Flying Club Insurance

Friday, May 9th, 2014

Many pilots believe aircraft ownership is only a dream, but then find that they can not only make that dream come true, but do so in a cost effective way: Through a flying club. When someone buys a share in a flying club, the annual aircraft costs are distributed amongst the group, resulting in less out of pocket expenses and more time in the air for the pilot.

It is not a surprise that one of the most important costs of flying clubs is insurance. Typically, due to the nature of risk that flying clubs present to the insurance industry, only a certain level of liability limits are available. Recently, a major organization has announced their ability to offer increased liability limits in flying club insurance. This, in fact, is no surprise to the aviation insurance industry, and something that the knowledgeable agents at AIR have been offering for years and are delighted to offer to flying clubs.

Most flying club insurance policies offer a $1,000,000 combined single limit property damage and bodily injury limit with a $100,000 per passenger sublimit. Sometimes, flying clubs are interested in higher limits but find that they are not always available through their current insurance policy. While higher limits sometimes cannot be offered through the flying club insurance policy, higher limits for an individual member of the flying club can be achieved through ‘stacked limits’.

Higher liability limits are available to individual members of the flying club by establishing individual a non-owned aircraft policy. This affordable policy will be “stacked” upon the main flying club insurance policy offering extra limits for that individual.

Flying Club Insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources

At AIR, we provide a full range of aircraft insurance and aviation insurance products, including Flying Club Insurance. We pride ourselves on finding the insurance policy that best meets the needs of ALL of your members, no matter the size of the club or the type of aircraft. AIR agents believe in serving your flying clubs needs with integrity, by informing the club of all the necessary options to cover your insurance risk. AIR will work diligently to find a flying club insurance policy that offers increased limits or will inform the club if we determine that stacked limits are the best route. AIR represents all of the major aviation insurance markets, so it is no surprise that we offer the broadest package of protection at the best available rates.

Get into the AIR with gyroplane insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014

The gyroplane, also known as an autogyro or gyrocopter made its mark early in aviation history, first flown in January of 1923. Since then, gyroplanes have been catching the hearts of pilots around the world. Amelia Earhart even had to get in on the action, breaking a women’s world altitude record in a gyroplane in 1931. With the ability to fly as a helicopter including STOL (short take-off and landing) and float capabilities, the gyroplane is a unique class of aircraft offered in the aviation market that includes that “rotor wing flying” experience. To properly protect a gyroplane, an insurance agency knowledgeable in the rotor wing industry is a must. That company is Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR).

As pilots themselves, AIR agents understand the unique nature of obtaining rotor wing insurance. In fact, they recently invited aviation insurance underwriters to join them on some gyroplane flights so that they could experience first-hand how safely and easily gyroplane aircraft are handled. The fact that AIR is willing to go the extra mile (or fly it!) ensures they are meeting their aviation insurance customers’ needs. Making the customers’ needs priority one is what ranks them among the most respected aviation insurance brokers in the industry.

Do you own or are looking at purchasing a Vortex, Lightning or the new Sportcopter II gyroplane? Perhaps an AutoGyroUSA MTO Sport, Calidus, or Cavalon or a Magni Gyro? Regardless of the brand of the gyrocopter, AIR agents are here to assist you with your gyroplane insurance every step of the way. AIR will get you covered so you are on your way to experiencing “rotor wing flying” in your very own gyrocopter.
