Next ABSWeb Webinar:
Maintaining Insurability
Webinar date: February 8, 2022
Time: 1900 Central Time/0100Z February 9
About this Presentation
This webinar discusses the insurance challenges for pilots with low experience in type, pilots who want to maintain high levels of insurance protection, and older pilots, and a strategy for making themselves good risks for otherwise hesitant insurance underwriters. We’ll cover:
- Why aircraft insurance has become costlier and hard to get in recent years;
- The difference between insurance brokers, agents and underwriters, and questions to ask each; and
- A strategy for getting underwriters to see you as a better risk than the average airplane owner.
Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar. This program is recognized for ABS AVIATOR and FAA WINGS credit.
Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech Bonanzas, Debonairs, Barons and Travel Airs, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
