Does aviation insurance cover student pilots?

Coverage for student pilots depends on your policy. Some policies cover student pilots with an instructor on board; others may require additional endorsements. Flight schools need specialized coverage that addresses the risks of training operations.

What is hangar liability insurance?

Hangar liability insurance covers your liability for damage to other aircraft and property stored in or around your hangar. If your aircraft damages a neighboring plane while being moved, hangar liability pays for the resulting claims.

How is aviation insurance priced?

Aviation insurance premiums are based on the aircraft type and value, pilot experience and credentials, how the aircraft is used (personal, business, charter), and your claims history. Maintaining current pilot certifications and a clean safety record helps keep premiums competitive.
