AOPA insurance offers accident forgiveness and deductible waiver enhancement
AOPA INSURANCE HAS LAUNCHED a program to help general aviation pilots
save money in the event of an incident or accident. Partnering with the AOPA
Foundation, AOPA Insurance now offers accident forgiveness and deductible
waiver enhancement on select insurance policies.
AOPA Insurance Services and Chartis Aerospace joined the AOPA Air
Safety Institute to improve pilot safety while helping to lower pilots’ out-ofpocket expenses in the event of an accident. Many
of AOPA’s insurance partners have adapted the
program for select policies to offer accident forgiveness and deductible reward programs.
“No pilot ever plans on having an accident,” says
Brenda J. Jennings, senior vice president, AOPA
Insurance Services. “These programs are for all
pilots, no matter how safe they think they are in
their flying.”
To qualify for these money-saving benefits, a
pilot must participate in online courses or attend a
live safety seminar at least once every six months. These programs are free—
because of funding from generous donors— and convenient to access online.
Accident Forgiveness is available on select insurance policies underwritten by Chartis Aerospace, USAIG, Phoenix Aviation Managers, Starr Aviation,
WEB

Global Aerospace, U.S. Specialty Insurance, and QBE.
This valuable coverage enhancement waives part of
the policy’s deductible and prevents the policy renewal
rate from increasing as a result of the accident.
In addition to online courses offering a wide range
of topics that can be accessed anywhere there’s an
Internet connection, AOPA
offers more than 200 free
AOPA Air Safety Institute
safety seminars all year
long throughout the United
States. These seminars are
taught by qualified professional instructors, and no
preregistration is required.
“All of these programs
are free,” adds Jennings. “So
whether you want to save money in case of an accident
or simply polish your skills as a pilot, AOPA provides
a continuing education program for pilots that is well
worth your while.”
