When most pilots receive an aircraft insurance quote, they assume it’s based on a few key factors: hull value, total flight hours, maybe claim history. And while those elements are important, they only scratch the surface. The truth? Underwriters evaluate over 30 different data points when determining your aircraft insurance rate. Some are straightforward. Others are […]
Quoting aircraft insurance shouldn’t require a specific computer, an installed app, or IT support. But for too long, it has. Many quoting platforms are: Desktop-only Locked to specific operating systems Dependent on manual software updates Painfully slow on mobile or tablets In 2025, that simply doesn’t work. That’s why iFlyQuote is different. Built Entirely in […]
Most drone operators are experts at what they do. They understand FAA rules. They know how to fly safely. They invest in quality equipment. But when it comes to insurance? Many get it wrong. And not because they’re careless, because the drone insurance landscape is confusing, fast-changing, and often misunderstood. In this blog post, we’ll […]
If you’re a student pilot learning to fly in a Robinson R22, there’s one thing most schools and instructors won’t tell you until something goes wrong: You’re not automatically covered by the school’s insurance. At BWI, we’ve worked with hundreds of student pilots across the country, and most of them come to us after realizing […]
If you run an aviation insurance agency, or work in one, you already know how much time is wasted on data entry. Entering tail numbers. Re-entering pilot details. Copying and pasting coverage limits. Manually uploading PDFs. Typing quote results into your CRM. It’s a grind. And it doesn’t generate revenue. So we asked a question […]
The rise of drones in agriculture is changing everything, from how farmers map fields to how they spray crops. And leading the charge are advanced agricultural drones like the DJI Agras T50 and T40, capable of precise, high-volume aerial application. But as the technology improves, the risks grow too. And whether you’re a first-time operator […]
Letting an aircraft insurance policy lapse. Whether it’s due to forgetfulness, a planned gap in flying, or an assumption that “a few days won’t matter,” the result is the same: A lapsed policy can cost you thousands of dollars in increased premiums—and even worse, it can leave you completely exposed. In this article, we’re going […]
If you fly a Robinson R44 you don’t own, whether as a contract CFI, renter, or club pilot, there’s a good chance you’re exposed to personal liability without even realizing it. Most instructors and contract pilots assume the flight school or aircraft owner’s policy will protect them. Unfortunately, that’s not usually the case. At BWI, […]
iFlyQuote didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in a brokerage. We were aviation insurance producers, quoting dozens of aircraft every week, and frustrated by how inefficient the process had become. We weren’t getting faster. We weren’t gaining leverage. We were just working harder. So in 2016, we started building a better way. Solving a […]
If you operate drones commercially, whether in agriculture, mapping, inspections, or even light shows, you’re carrying more than a drone. You’re carrying risk. Risk of crashing into property. Risk of causing injury. Risk of damaging a client’s equipment. Risk of having your drone stolen, grounded, or worse, becoming the center of a liability lawsuit. And […]
