Protect yourself with helicopter insurance
What helicopter insurance do you need?
Being underinsured is almost as bad as being uninsured. If you don’t have full helicopter coverage, then you might end up grounded or out of pocket for damages if an accident should occur because your policy isn’t enough to cover everything. To be fully insured, you’ll need the following policies for your helicopter.
In-flight helicopter insurance
In-flight helicopter insurance is the part of your insurance coverage that insures any damage that might occur to your helicopter while it’s in flight.
Ground risk hull insurance
Ground risk hull insurance also covers damage that occurs to your helicopter, specifically anything that happened while it was on the ground.
Public liability helicopter insurance
You’ll also need insurance to cover damage that your helicopter might do. Public liability insurance provides coverage for damage to people or third-party property caused by your helicopter.
Passenger liability insurance
It’s also important to insure any passengers that you have on board your helicopter. Passenger liability insurance will cover anyone you invite to fly in your helicopter.
CSL helicopter insurance
CSL helicopter insurance is a joint policy that combines passenger and public liability insurance into a single policy with a shared limit. This is ideal for helicopter owners who may not have a lot of passengers.
How much helicopter insurance do you need?
Being underinsured could still leave you paying a lot of money out of pocket. Full coverage is the way to ensure peace of mind should something happen to or involving your helicopter. But how much do you need to avoid the insurance company refusing to pay in full?
How is helicopter insurance calculated?
Helicopter insurance is calculated differently depending on the policy. In-flight insurance and ground hull insurance both cover the helicopter itself and would therefore be based on the cost of the helicopter. You’ll want to ensure that both policies cover what it would cost to completely replace your helicopter. Passenger liability insurance is, by contrast, based on the number of passengers your helicopter can carry.
Who needs helicopter insurance?
Anyone who owns a helicopter needs to have helicopter insurance. If you’re flying uninsured, you could be breaking the law in some countries and could be barred from utilizing the services of FBOs, which generally require complete insurance coverage.

"I am very happy with Avion"
"I have been with Avion for many years, Scott is running a very professional organization, he selects the best agents in the business and give them authority to deal with customers (he never micro manages the agents), so when I ask for some modification and or any other arrangements the staff are able to answer and deal with it. I have enjoyed working with all of them specially Chris, stacey and so on, they shop around and make sure I get the best premium also representing me well with the underwriters. I am very happy with Avion."

"Support staff is awesome"
"Property insurance for condo aircraft hangars in a "Florida coastal area" had been a struggle ever since 2004. Last year it was our good fortune to be referred to Scott Langevin at Avion by the National Hangar Insurance Program; he was the first to provide sensible coverage in over a decade. His support staff is awesome also, and this year's renewal was seamless. Thanks Avion!!"
