Bush Bunny Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Just wondering who has life insurance, through whom, and at what price. Many years ago, I flew with a guy who used to sell insurance, he said only one or two companies will underwrite pilots. Is this the case, how have the past couple of years affected this? Is there somewhere better to go than other outfits? Thanks, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingline Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Take a look at Pilot Insurance Center and this AvWeb article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pratt Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 There is a Cdn company that started up a couple of years ago offering pilot insurance. Can't recall the name right now but I'll try and come up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

624 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Here is a link to insurance for pilots. http://www.ppip.ca/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush Bunny Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Thanks, That was pretty informative. 300K doesn't seem like a lot of coverage however, other occupations seem to be able to collect quite a bit more. The stats said on average 1 ATPL pilot/year dies while on the job in Canada, so what's the problem? BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
624 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I never looked into what these people have to offer. It's just a link to a Canadian insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush Bunny Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Just spoke with an insurance agent from The Co-operators, he's comming by tomorrow to fill me in on the details. While on the phone he asked a series of questions trying to determine what category I fit into. Standard rate applies to Airline types, then anything that deviates from that is a penalty, ie, bush work, forestry, aerial application etc. Helicopters are not too bad as long as it's not offshore or heavy lift. Seems to me that offshore is about as safe as it comes isn't it? Anyway, should have more information tomorrow, if I find anything useful, I'll post it here. Not sure whether i should tell him :hide: about my fixed-wing, or rotary... Thanks again, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
