PRIVATE AIRCRAFT INSURANCE

  About Private Aircraft Insurance

 
Pleasure and Business aircraft insurance is coverage for non-professional, non-commercial aircraft exposures. In other words, general aviation aircraft, flown by the owner, operated for pleasure or incidental business use – specifically not for hire or compensation.

Private aircraft insurance is the most common type of aviation insurance. In the event of an accident involving their airplane, it will cover costs for the owner, or group of owners, of an aircraft.  The insurance industry uses the term “pleasure and business” to distinguish private aircraft insurance from insurance for aircraft used in a commercial aviation business, or for a corporation that has a crew of pilots that they use to transport their employees and executives in their corporate aircraft or charter flight.

There are several factors that are considered when insuring your aircraft:

  • Who is Insured: named insured(s), additional insured(s), lienholders
  • Aircraft: year, make, model, # of seats, where it is located, hangar or tiedown
  • Pilot(s): Certificates and ratings, flying time, training, loss history
  • Type of coverage: Aircraft hull value coverage, Liability coverage
  • Liability limits: Limit of liability, smooth (Combined Single Limit) or sublimits

Ways to lower your rates:

  • Periodic Training
  • Pilot Association Discounts (AOPA, EAA)
  • Advance your pilot experience & ratings
  • Transition training plan for pilots moving up to a higher performance aircraft
