I recently received my glider insurance renewal and found that while
the premium didn't increase much, they eliminated two important areas of coverage. I'd like to hear people's comments. 1) Physical damage to non-owned aircraft - This covers you flying someone else's ship such as a rental airplane. As far as I was told the only recourse is to sign up for a complete year's worth of extra coverage. This would not be practicle simply to be able to rent a single place ship once a year in Minden. I foresee that this will adversely impact commercial operations unless they can supply pilot's with insurance on a daily basis (similar to the rental car industry). According to my agent this daily coverage doesn't exist and is unlikely to be available in the future as the underwriters want to review and approve the individual pilots, which can't happen the morning I show up to fly. 2) Lending my ship to another qualified pilot known as "Open Pilot" coverage - Last year I was able to loan my glider to a pilot who had the necessary number of hours flying 35:1 or better ships. Now I would need to have the other pilot named in my policy. Normally the other pilot will carry his own insurance, but if his policy is like mine, #1 above prevents this option. Thanks, John DeRosa |
