Hey guys, I just began my flight training and was informed I need insurance? Where do I obtain this and how much coverage do I need? Is it very costly? Appreciate the help.
Some flight schools do require it. AOPA has a good underwriter, and so does AVEMCO. There are others. I pay around $200 a year to AVEMCO. Check with your school to see if they require certain minimums of coverage.
The school has insurance, but if you prang a plane, the school's insurance company can come after you (subrogation) - it's not expensive, and one less thing for you to worry about when solo.
