With the cost of adequate insurance soaring in our industry, we find ourselves looking for alternatives to reduce the annual premiums. We will work closely with your insurance broker and underwriter to develop a training curriculum that you and the underwriter will be able to sign-off on.
A word of caution in this area, we strongly recommend that you do not let your broker contact any of the insurance underwriters until you have had an opportunity to meet with a professional. Over the years, I have been asked to help with the training and then find out the owner, company pilot, or broker has already flooded the market obtaining quotes and they find themselves having to pay a higher premium than necessary. Once an insurance underwriter has given you a quote, they usually will not quote the policy again for a minimum of 6 months to one year. We have been successful in creating a training curriculum that all parties are agreeable to which generally reduces the required flight hours of training or supervision.
