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 […]

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, […]
When most people think about insurance, they think about worst-case scenarios: A crash A lawsuit A theft A hardware failure And yes—drone insurance protects you from all of that. But here’s what commercial operators often overlook: The right drone insurance policy doesn’t just protect you. It gets you in the door. In this post, we’re […]
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.
