Protect Yourself With Aviation Insurance
What does pilot and flight crew insurance cover?
Pilot and flight crew coverage insurance is a specialized type of insurance designed to provide protection specifically for pilots and flight crew members during their duties. This insurance encompasses various aspects to address the unique risks associated with aviation professions. Key elements of this type of insurance policy include the following:Life insurance
This component provides financial compensation in the event of death or serious injury resulting from an aviation accident. It’s tailored to acknowledge the higher risks involved in flying compared to other professions.Loss of license
Crucial for professional pilots, this insurance offers financial support if a pilot loses their medical certification, which is essential for maintaining their pilot’s license. It covers situations where a pilot is unable to fly due to health issues, either temporarily or permanently.Emergency evacuation and repatriation
In the event of an accident or illness in a remote location, this coverage ensures that the pilot or crew member can be transported to a suitable medical facility or back home.Disability and loss of income
If a pilot or crew member is unable to work due to an accident or illness, this part of the policy can provide a temporary income replacement.Legal liability
This protects pilots and flight crew members against legal claims or lawsuits that may arise from their professional actions or decisions while operating or managing an aircraft.Medical costs
Specifically designed for aviation professionals, it covers medical treatments and hospitalization due to illnesses or injuries related to their occupation.International coverage
For pilots and crew flying internationally, this coverage can provide necessary protection across different countries, which might not be covered by standard insurance policies.Baggage and personal effects
This covers the loss, damage, or theft of personal property while on duty.Workers’ compensation
For employed pilots and crew, workers’ compensation insurance provides coverage for injuries or illnesses that occur as a direct result of their employment.How much pilot and flight crew insurance do I need?
Having insurance isn’t enough; it’s essential to be fully covered. If you’re not fully insured, then you could end up having to pay out of pocket if an accident occurred. But how do you know how much insurance coverage you need? How do you balance between having too little insurance and not paying more than you have to?
How is pilot and flight crew insurance calculated?
Some aviation insurance is calculated based on the cost of the aircraft. When it comes to insurance that is intended to cover people, such as passenger liability insurance, the insurance policy is based instead on the number of people involved. In this case, the policy would be based on the number of crew and pilots you’ve hired and how much they’re paid.Who needs pilot and flight crew aviation insurance?
Anyone employing pilots and flight crew will need aviation insurance to cover them while they’re on duty. In many cases, pilots may have some insurance of their own, but it’s important for employers to carry their own insurance to cover any and all liability for their employees.Our partners

"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!!"
