insurance

TLDR: How common is it for workmen/handymen/etc to claim they have insurance when they don't? How often do you check? Explanation: Recently I had a guy come knocking asking if he could take down one of my big oak trees (70+ feet). It's clearly dying and should be felled soon. He gave me an...

I've read about home insurance prices going up in the news but until recently I hadn't really seen it first hand. My part of Illinois has been spared from crazy increases. Now this year I just got my renewal docs and my premium is increasing over 70%. So I got my original docs and it's up to...

Hello everyone, currently in need of a CFI with 1000+ hour total time, 250+ hour retract gear, and 25 hours in a Comanche 250. Insurance is requiring 25hrs dual with such CFI before solo, I am located in Central Florida on KDED airfield. Anyone who qualifies and is near/knows of someone please...

I’ve been looking around for student/renter’s insurance and come across Skywatch. I’m a bit unclear on how it works- plans by the day/week/month? Do you only insure days that you’re going flying? Thanks.

Hello all, I just bought my first airplane! WOO! It's a 1967 Piper Cherokee in fairly good condition that's been used as a rental/trainer for a short while, and I am wanting to do a couple things with it: Continue to rent it out (I have permission from the airport). The goal being to rent it...

Curious about what others are seeing. I've owned for 1 year, low time pilot with an LSA my insurance just quoted and didn't move. I flew around 70 hrs last year with no accidents and nothing happened. I have close to 175 hrs I find it insane that my insurance is staying at a nice car payment...

Hello, Does anyone have any idea what the insurance overlords are charging for insurance on things like Super Petrel, Seamax, SeaRey ? Thanks!

Hello all, Looking into purchasing an Arrow III or similar aircraft. My question is how much more is the complex aspect going to cost me in annual inspection/annual mx expenses? How much is a typical annual inspection going to cost me? I'm also curious about insurance. I'm a private pilot with...

I figure it might be a good idea to get renters insurance since I have not flown for a number of years other than a recent BFR and some T&Gs. Going to venture away from my home airport this weekend. What kind of coverage do you have? Where can I find the best rate with a reputable insurer...

Once I earned my PPL and bought a plane, friends (and even people I'd only met once) began asking me to take them up. My personal rule is to be rather non committal and wait until they ask at least one more time. That seems to weed out the casual requests. So far I've only flown with a handful...

Hey all, First time airplane owner here and within the first week of owning my Cessna 172 I hit a ground loop and did some damage to both the plane as well as some PAPI lights at the airport. When trying to work with insurance regarding covering the property damage at the airport as well as the...

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone would like to share any or all of the details listed below related to their airplane ownership experience. I'm working on a new YouTube channel that focuses on the cost of owning specific aircraft. Something I found sadly lacking online while doing my own...

I dinged my wing tip recently and paid to have it replaced out of pocket, hoping to avoid a claim and higher rates when I renew. In hindsight, I wonder if I didn't do myself any favors. I just got my application from my broker for insurance renewal. One of the questions is "in the past 5...

I'm a PPL thinking about buying an LSA (I'm still debating EAB kit or SLSA). I need some guidance on two subjects: Financing and Insurance. I'll start a thread for each. Insurance: I don't have a clue about how aircraft insurance works. I do have an umbrella policy to protect assests as...

Hello everyone, I have a little over 230 hours(over 160 complex) with HP time and I own a Beech Sierra c24r that I'm selling at the moment) 0 multi logged and non-IFR but plan on finishing that in the next few months. I have been looking into a twin and have narrowed it down to a specific...

A partner and I in a new plane have a much better quotation for insurance from Old Republic Aerospace. They have an A+ financial strength rating from A.M.Best but I am wondering if people here have an opinion about them? @Rgbeard ?

Searched forum for 'insurance' and specifically for keyword 'seniors' - no results other than a warning to seniors about high rates. Can't say I didn't try. So here's the question: anyone have some ballpark figures for Piper Cherokee 180 or Piper Arrow 180 hp or similar, low time VFR senior...

In Florida with the lousy weather - hinges being bent or control rods moved out of place to rub adjacent metal surface. This could've happened due to strong winds flapping the control surfaces. Does anyone have any experience with insurance covering damages caused due to wind flapping the...

I would appreciate if you could recommend an insurance broker / company (other than AOPA Insurance Agency) to insure my 1958 PA-23-160. I have about 12 hours in PA-23 but don't have multi engine rating.

So it’s been said that an Instrument rating will lower an Airplane Owner’s Insurance cost which is why some people advice to be Instrument rated before buying. But Owning an airplane may reduce the training cost while going for your IFR rating. So, comparing apples to apples, would it make more...
