While only 11 U.S. states mandate private aircraft pilots to carry insurance, the implications of flying without it go far beyond legal requirements. Ingram Aviation Insurance is here to guide you through the intricacies of aviation insurance and why it’s a crucial component of responsible aircraft ownership.
Legal and Financial Protection
Aviation insurance is a vital safety net. Without it, you assume full liability for any incidents that might occur. A comprehensive policy should cover:
- Damage to your aircraft incurred in the air or on the ground
- Accidents with uninsured pilots
- Weather events
- Medical bills if someone is injured
- Significant costs associated with external property damage
The financial implications can be devastating for uninsured pilots who get involved in accidents, easily escalating to sums that could jeopardize your financial stability.
Access to Necessary Services
Fixed-base operators are essential hubs for private pilots, offering essential services for aircraft operations like fueling, hangaring, repairs, and maintenance. FBOs require aircraft owners to carry insurance to access these necessities.
International Travel Requirements
Insurance may be mandatory if your flight plans include destinations beyond U.S. borders. Many countries restrict landing rights exclusively to insured aircraft to safeguard against the liabilities that could arise from accidents occurring within their airspace. Moreover, depending on your destination, you may need specific international liability coverage to meet the legal requirements of the country you are visiting.
