When aircraft owners search for airplane insurance quotes, they are usually in decision mode. They have either purchased an aircraft, are renewing coverage, or are comparing options.

Many pilots assume that when they rent an aircraft from a flight school or flying club they are automatically covered by the school’s insurance policy. This assumption is one of the most common and costly misunderstandings in general aviation. While flight schools do carry insurance it is designed to protect the school not the individual […]
