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 […]
Drone crashes are rare, but when they happen, they happen fast. And in those moments, the only thing more important than having coverage is knowing what to do next. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to respond to a drone insurance claim the right way, so you can recover quickly, get paid promptly, […]
When you call an aircraft insurance broker, you probably expect honesty. Straight answers. Guidance you can trust. But there’s one thing most brokers won’t tell you: They don’t work for you. They work for your renewal. That’s not how it should be. The Truth About Aviation Insurance Incentives Most brokers in aviation insurance earn their […]
The Robinson R66 has redefined turbine helicopter ownership for private pilots and small operators. With its five-seat cabin, Rolls-Royce RR300 engine, and turbine-class performance, the R66 bridges the gap between affordable piston flight and high-performance rotorcraft operations. But insuring a turbine helicopter like the R66 isn’t as straightforward as its piston predecessors, and too often, […]

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 […]

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.
