Frequently Asked Questions – Robinson Helicopter Insurance

Q: Can I get insurance as a student pilot in a Robinson R22 or R44? Yes. With dual instruction and a structured training plan, we help students qualify for coverage in both R22 and R44 aircraft.

Q: Do I need turbine time to insure an R66? Yes—but we help structure your submission to reflect simulator time, dual instruction, or CSIP/factory mentor programs. Many R66 pilots get covered with as few as 25–50 hours of turbine time.

Q: How long does a quote take? Standard piston quotes (R22/R44) return in 24 hours. Turbine quotes (R66) typically take 48–72 hours depending on documentation.

Q: Can I insure a rented or non-owned Robinson? Yes. We offer non-owned liability and aircraft damage policies for CFIs, students, and contract pilots.

Q: Does your policy include commercial use coverage? Yes—if declared. We structure instructional or commercial endorsements with underwriter pre-approval.

Q: Can I get smooth liability coverage? Yes. We quote $1M–$5M CSL for qualified pilots, especially on R44 and R66 aircraft with clean profiles.
