If you’ve owned aircraft in both Alaska and the Lower 48, you’ve probably noticed something interesting. Insurance companies don’t evaluate those risks the same way. The reason is simple. Flying in Alaska is fundamentally different than flying almost anywhere else in the United States. In most states, aircraft are often considered recreational assets or business […]
One of the most common questions we hear from Beechcraft owners is: “Which Bonanza costs more to insure—the V35 or the F33A?” It’s a fair question. Both aircraft are legendary. Both are respected throughout aviation. Both offer outstanding performance, strong owner loyalty, and decades of proven history. Yet many buyers assume there must be a […]
Maule aircraft occupy a unique place in aviation. They’re not airline trainers. They’re not luxury transportation aircraft. They’re not weekend sightseeing airplanes. A Maule is a utility machine. Owners buy them because they want capability. They want an aircraft that can operate from places where many airplanes never go. That capability is exactly why insurance […]

Few aircraft have earned the reputation of the Cessna 182. For decades, the Skylane has been one of the most popular aircraft in general aviation because it can do almost […]
If you own a Cirrus aircraft, you’ve probably heard insurance companies talk about training. A lot. In fact, after pilot experience and claims history, training may be one of the most important factors influencing how insurance companies evaluate Cirrus owners. Many pilots assume training is simply a box to check. Insurance companies don’t see it […]
When pilots start shopping for a Mooney, one concern comes up almost immediately. “Insurance must be expensive.” It’s understandable. After all, Mooneys are known for speed. They’re high-performance aircraft. Many models feature retractable landing gear. Some are turbocharged. Others cruise at speeds that rival aircraft costing significantly more to own and operate. On paper, they […]
If you’ve ever applied for aircraft insurance and wondered why the insurance company asks so many questions, you’re not alone. Many Bonanza owners are surprised by the amount of information underwriters request. They want to know: Total flight time Time in make and model Instrument rating Claims history Aircraft value Training history Aircraft usage Recent […]
If you’re shopping for a Robinson helicopter, one of the biggest questions you’ll eventually ask is: “How much will it cost to insure?” It’s a smart question. Many buyers spend months researching: Purchase price Fuel burn Maintenance costs Performance Payload Yet insurance often gets overlooked until the purchase is nearly complete. Unfortunately, that’s when many […]
If you own a Cirrus aircraft, 2026 may be shaping up to be one of the most favorable insurance markets you’ve seen in years. After a period of rising premiums, tighter underwriting standards, and limited carrier competition, many Cirrus owners are finally seeing insurance costs move in the right direction. At BWI Aviation Insurance, we […]
One of the most common questions we receive from Cessna owners is: “How much more does a retractable gear 182 cost to insure than a fixed gear 182?” It’s a fair question.
