Golden Boy 0 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hello all, since I now have a baby boy at home I came to realization that the "myth" that helicopter pilot are not insurable might hold more truth then i thought. As i found out, it is possible for a pilot to get insurance but at a cost!! And depending on the type of work, areas of operations and type of aircraft (single or twin engine) it could be more or less expensive. Also if you longline you can't get invalidity insurance??? Just wondering what guys with families have been doing? Does this sound about right? Any inputs or info would be appreciated. If you don't mind sharing some ball park figures that would be great. Thanks. Wishing everyone a safe summer out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmo 8 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 If you have your ATPLH you can apply to PPIP (Professional Pilots Insurnace Plan). 500 K of insurance and 500 K dismembermant etc is about $70 per month if you are a 40 ish old non smoker. I have a expired plan with Canada Life for about 1800 per year for 400 K. ( to give you an idea whats out there) RBC will also insure for roughly the same. Travelers insurance from the UK is coming out with a plan for loss of licence, disability etc... for contractors very shortly. Cheers C. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R0T0R 519 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I don't have much to share because my insurance is void if I kick it serving as flight crew but I just wanted to say congrats on the baby Golden Boy! R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teabagger 23 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Just purchased some with Mitch Reynolds. He has multiple companies to draw from and has options depending on your situation. Honest and upfront guy. Goes through an insurance needs matrix to give you an idea of how much you should buy depending on your situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
