Aircraft Insurance Update – November 2022

Recent Aircraft Insurance Quotes
We’ve seen the aircraft insurance market start to flatten recently. Policy premium increases are slowing down, with the exception of pilots with policies that were below market rates. Some pilots with great resumes have actually seen declines in premiums.
Aircraft inventories have continued to increase slowly, however they are still very low compared to the norm. Despite inventory levels increasing, prices have also been increasing. Here’s some recently quoted aircraft insurance rates.

What We’re Talking About
There’s an aviation saying that goes, “There are OLD pilots and there are BOLD pilots, but there are no OLD BOLD pilots.” We recently published an article to help 70 Year Old Pilots navigate the aircraft insurance industry along with Tips, Risks, and Pricing. What type of planning should be done when a pilot approaches 70 years old and wants to continue their flying careers into their 80s? An insurance company’s risk tolerance for 70 year old pilots is based on a case by case basis which often is a combination of previous claims or loss ratio, experience in previous years leading up to 70, and focus or emphasis on safety. Check out our article to learn how to prepare and what to expect.

Wings Over Dallas Airshow mid-air collision leaves 6 dead after a World War II bomber – Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress – and fighter aircraft – Bell P-63 Kingcobra – crash. There haven’t been reports of anyone on the ground being injured. NTSB is investigating the crash. To me, it looks like the low wing fighter aircraft lost sight of the B-17 bomber while in a steep banking turn.
