Does your Aviation Organization Need Directors & Officers Insurance?

admin-airpros2018 — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:27:36 +0000

It is said that a typical adult makes an average of 35,000 decisions a day! Many of those choices are made in a place of employment or in the duty as an officer or director of a company. Whether as an employee or in a voluntary role, an action or misrepresentation could compromise the company financially. Directors & Officers (D&O) – also known as management liability – is an affordable policy to have in place to protect your company these exposures.

Any entity with a board of directors should have a D&O policy. Setting one up is quick and easy and usually runs small operations under $1,000 in premium annually. Larger companies can have the option to add crime, employment practices, and general liability coverage to their policy as well.

Who in aviation may need a D&O policy?

Flying clubs
Private airports
Association airports
Aviation organizations
Aviation groups that involves a membership

Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) provides a full range of aviation insurance products to clients of all sizes throughout the United States. Whether you rent or own an aircraft, or run an aviation business, AIR has the risk solution for you.

Gregg Ellsworth speaks about aviation insurance changes

Aviation Insurance for 2019 – What you should know.

Insurance premiums and underwriting practices began changing in 2018 and more changes are expected. Don’t get caught by surprise. Let’s discuss the changes and how these changes may impact your renewal quote or new purchase.

Gregg Ellsworth’s first general aviation flight was in a seaplane as a young boy. His eyes have been fixed to the sky since that day and he doesn’t see it changing anytime soon. Gregg has a BS in Aviation Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Following graduation, he worked for Midstate Airlines out of Milwaukee, WI as a customer service representative. Eventually he would get a call from Avemco Insurance Company from an application he’d submitted years before! Working there eventually led to his move to Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) in 2003.

“I’m experienced in all types of aviation insurance from non-commercial pleasure and business piston and turbine fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft to all types of commercial risks such as flight schools, maintenance shops, flying clubs, airport liability and airport property and more. However, I have an interest in light sport aircraft and have been attending several light sport aircraft shows each year for many years, so you could say I have a niche for light sport aircraft,” said Gregg.

One of Gregg’s most interesting policies is a fleet of aircraft insured for charter, instruction, sightseeing, banner tow and buoy drops! He aims to help with their insurance needs and understand that sometimes the best choice in policy may not be the lowest premium.

Special Oshkosh Offer:
In December 2012, Victoria Neuville Zajko, a commercial pilot and insurance agent at AIR flew to West Virginia to adopt a puppy from a local rescue. Turbo was the only appropriate name for the pup, who took to flying right from the beginning. Turbo loves to be in the air and is closing in on 100 hours logged in flight.
Inspired from Turbo’s real-life story, Zajko teamed up with newspaper publisher and friend Kelly Kennedy to create a children’s aviation book series, Turbo the Flying Dog. The first book tells shelter dog Turbo’s “tail” as he discovers he will finally have a new home and a family, but learns he must first get there by plane. Turbo has never seen a plane before, let alone flown in one, and as the story unfolds he discovers that he just may enjoy flying! Turbo’s second book, Turbo Learns to Fly, will release just in time for Oshkosh allowing young readers to follow Turbo as he takes his first flight lesson.
Victoria will be in the AIR booth with copies of books one and two from the Turbo series. She is offering a $2 discount on book purchases to those who request an aviation insurance quote during the show.
More about Turbo:
Authors Kelly Kennedy and Victoria Zajko describe the book as a light-hearted adventure for children ages four to eight focused on rescue, family, and aviation. Illustrated by Michelle Zajko, the bright colors and illustrations mimic the real Turbo and his aviation surroundings.

Looking Back on U.S. Sport Aviation Expo 2015

vneuville — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 19:51:13 +0000

The cloudy days did not conceal the shine in the eyes of vendors, manufacturers, dealers and pilots at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida last week. Aircraft ranged from Cub Crafters and Legend Cub to the return of Paradise Aircraft and the introduction of the new Groppo Avio Trail. All aspects of light sport aviation were represented at this unique expo.
The mood at the Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) booth was upbeat and positive as we saw an increase in attendance. Numerous pilots were taking advantage of light sport rules and returning to aviation after a long hiatus. Renter pilots were excited to find they could instantly purchase insurance for non-owned light sport aircraft on our website. And a large number of pilots also stopped by to ask questions about amphibious light sport insurance for airplanes like the Searey.
Light sport insurance quote requests included Sonex, Bristell, Tecnam, Evektor, Flight Design, Zenith, Czech Sport and Jabiru aircraft. This proves that enthusiasm for this relatively new aircraft category is still fresh; with many pilots stating the affordability of these aircraft and no need for an aviation medical as reasons why they chose light sport.
New and prospective light sport builders stopped by the AIR booth as well. We offer a builders and restorers insurance program, designed to protect the aircraft during the building or restoring stage regardless of pilot experience and qualifications. Customized with your needs in mind, this policy offers flexible liability and hull coverage options.
To discover more about insuring your light sport aircraft with AIR please contact us by calling 877-247-7767 or visit AIR-PROS.com today to receive an aircraft insurance quote! You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+
