Whether you’re upgrading to a faster aircraft, selling your current plane, or buying your first, there’s a critical detail many owners forget: Insurance doesn’t transfer with ownership. It’s a simple but costly assumption. One that can leave both buyers and sellers exposed, and one we see every single month. In this post, we’ll break down […]
Flying drones at events can be some of the most rewarding—and most challenging—work you do as a commercial UAV operator. From weddings and festivals to concerts and sporting events, these gigs often involve crowded spaces, high-value property, and strict venue requirements. Without the right insurance, one incident could end your business—or prevent you from getting […]
Most pilots don’t fire their broker. They just renew. Year after year, with the same broker. Even when the service slips. Even when the premium creeps up. Even when you start asking yourself, “What am I actually getting here?” But here’s the truth: Every broker should earn your business. Every year. If they’re not, it might […]
If you fly a Robinson R66 you don’t own, whether as a contract pilot, instructor, or demo pilot, there’s one thing you should know: You are personally liable for any damage or injury that occurs while you’re flying that aircraft. Most instructors and contract pilots assume that the owner’s insurance covers them. But unless your […]
Scaling a drone operation is exciting. You start with a single drone, a few jobs, and a handful of clients. Then the momentum builds: You invest in more drones. You land bigger contracts. You hire remote pilots or subcontractors. You add sensors, payloads, and mission complexity. Your business is evolving fast. But what about your […]
Aircraft insurance renewals often arrive in your inbox like clockwork. You see the familiar quote, check the price, and—if it’s not wildly different—you click, pay, and move on. But here’s the reality: That quick click could be costing you hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars. Why? Because aircraft insurance policies are complex. And if you’re not reviewing […]
If you fly a helicopter you don’t own, whether for instruction, rental, time-building, or contract work, there’s one thing you need to know: The aircraft’s insurance policy probably doesn’t cover you. Most pilots assume the flight school, flying club, or owner’s insurance will protect them in the event of an accident. But in reality? If […]
Commercial drones are powerful tools. But they’re also delicate, complex, and—when something goes wrong, shockingly expensive to repair or replace. Just ask the drone operator who lost $35,000 in a single accident… and lived to tell the tale. In this post, we’ll walk you through a real-world claim, what went wrong, how insurance saved the […]
If you’re like most aircraft owners, you’ve probably asked yourself: “How can I get a better rate on my insurance without cutting coverage?” The answer may be simpler than you think: fly more, and train smarter. Aircraft insurance underwriters aren’t just looking at your hours. They’re looking for signs that you’re staying sharp, current, and […]
If you’re a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) giving dual instruction in a helicopter that you don’t personally own, there’s something you need to know: The aircraft’s insurance policy probably doesn’t protect you. That’s right, even though you’re the one with experience, oversight, and a student in your left seat, you could be personally liable for […]
