Aviation insurance,
explained.

Aircraft insurance premiums vary widely based on aircraft type, pilot experience, and how you fly — and most pilots are paying more than they should. Here's what actually drives your rate and how to get it right.

What aircraft renters insurance covers — and why you need it before you solo. Most students assume the flight school's policy has them covered. It doesn't.

Insurance companies, agencies, agents, brokers — they all sound similar but they're not. Understanding the difference can mean getting the right coverage instead of the most convenient one.

Aviation insurance comes in two distinct types. Understanding the difference — and how to balance the two — is the foundation of any solid aviation policy.

If you rent or borrow aircraft, the owner's insurance doesn't protect you. Here's what non-owned coverage is, how subrogation works, and what it costs.

New capacity came into the aviation market and rates softened for most clean-record owners. Here is what that means at your next renewal.

Aviation payroll uses its own class codes, and most standard carriers don’t want flight crew exposure. What flight schools, MROs, and FBOs need to get right before an audit.

The FAA says you can fly under BasicMed. Your policy is a separate contract — and its pilot warranty language decides whether you’re actually covered.

When a policy warranty is breached and a claim is denied, this endorsement pays your lender — but not you. What every financed aircraft owner should know.

Chartered flights, rented planes, and employee-owned aircraft on company business all create liability your general liability policy likely excludes.

An open pilot warranty defines who can fly your aircraft and still be covered. Learn what OPW requirements look like, what happens if they're violated, and how to make sure your policy fits how you fly.
