Be prepared for hurricane season

The Atlantic hurricane season officially began in June, although the storms typically peak in August. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook is predicting a 65-percent chance of an above-normal season. Of course, while the weather experts can forecast probable activity, they can’t predict the location of landfall until the storm track has been established, and even then, storms have been known to deviate from their projected paths. So, for aircraft owners who live on or near the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Caribbean Sea, having a hurricane protection plan for your aircraft is essential. Be sure you have hurricane insurance for your aircraft and that it includes relocation coverage. For those aircraft battened down to 2011 sweepstakes—your last chance ride out the storm outside, be sure the tie down area has no loose objects that could blow into the aircraft.
