Choosing the right aircraft insurance broker is one of the most important decisions you can make as a pilot or aircraft owner. The broker you work with isn’t just a middleman, they’re your advocate, your advisor, and your frontline resource when things go wrong. Yet many aircraft owners stick with the same broker year after […]
So you just bought your first aircraft. Congratulations! Becoming an aircraft owner is one of the most exciting milestones a pilot can achieve. But with ownership comes responsibility—and one of the most critical (and often confusing) responsibilities is securing the right insurance policy. Whether you’ve bought a Cessna 172, a Cirrus SR22, or a Piper […]
If you own or operate a Robinson R44, you’ve probably heard the term “smooth liability” during your insurance quote process. But what does it actually mean? Why do some pilots qualify—and others don’t? And how much does it cost? At BWI, we help helicopter owners quote, structure, and bind R44 insurance policies that include or […]
When it comes to aircraft ownership, most pilots think about performance, safety, maintenance, and hangar availability. But one factor that often gets overlooked until renewal time is this: Where you store your aircraft can significantly affect your insurance premium. Whether your airplane is hangared or tied down can shift how underwriters classify your risk—and that […]
Aircraft insurance brokers know the pain: a new client calls, gives you a tail number, and wants a quote ASAP. That should be a smooth process. But traditionally, it’s not. You pull the FAA data manually, retype make/model details into 4 or 5 different quoting portals, email underwriters one-by-one, and then hope the aircraft configuration […]
If you’re operating drones commercially, especially in agriculture, cinematography, mapping, inspections, or light shows, you’ve probably heard of FAA waivers. You may even have a few. But here’s something most operators don’t realize: Your FAA waiver status directly affects your ability to get insured, and how competitive your quote will be. In this guide, we’ll […]
If you’re flying a Cirrus Vision Jet, or preparing to, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the term “smooth liability.” It sounds better. It feels safer. But it also costs a bit more. So here’s the big question: Is smooth liability worth it for Vision Jet owners? After quoting dozens of SF50 policies over the […]
Getting a drone insurance quote seems simple, until you realize how much can go wrong. You submit your details. You get a price. You bind a policy. Easy, right? Not exactly. Because unless the quote matches how you actually operate, there’s a chance your policy won’t protect you when it matters most. In this guide, […]
If you’re a student pilot learning to fly helicopters, there’s a lot to think about. Airspace. Autorotations. Ground effect. Emergency procedures. But there’s one thing most students and their families overlook until it’s too late: What happens if something goes wrong, and the school’s insurance doesn’t cover you? At BWI, we’ve worked with hundreds of […]
You’ve picked the perfect aircraft. The Cirrus SR20 is fast, reliable, safe, and built with features student and private pilots love. Now all that’s left is one more thing: Getting insured, fast.
