Aviation Loss Payments: Clear Title = Clear Skies
Let’s imagine that, unfortunately, you experienced a loss, incident or accident during which your insured aircraft sustained physical damage. Whether it results in a “total loss” or a “partial loss,” it is commonplace that after the adjustment and settlement of the physical damage insurance claim, the aviation insurance provider’s claim handler prepares to tender its payment of the physical damage loss to the policyholder (the “named insured”) and any additional loss payee(s) endorsed under the aviation insurance policy, unless otherwise directed.
Top 10 Factors That Affect Aviation Insurance Premiums
The cost of aviation insurance, like all insurance, is driven by risk factors. The higher your risk of being involved in an incident, the higher your insurance premium will be. The good news for aircraft owners and operators is that there are steps you can take to show the underwriter reviewing your insurance application that you pose a lower risk. In doing so, you can “earn” a better insurance premium.
Sustainable Practices in Claims Management
The processes for adjusting and managing aircraft insurance claims have not changed significantly in recent decades. Depending on the extent of the damage, most hull claims have typically involved an adjuster being on site within a few days of an accident to assess the damage and plan for necessary repairs. However, in a world in which we are increasingly time- and cost-sensitive, as well as environmentally conscious, change is afoot.

5 Important Tips When Renting Aircraft
While renting any vehicle comes with risk, there is much more at stake when that vehicle is an airplane. The consequences of mechanical problems with the aircraft, operator (i.e., pilot) error, etc. can be significant and put people, the plane and other property in harm’s way.
Aircraft Registration, Title and Insurance: What You Need to Know
As a requirement of aircraft ownership in the US, you must register your airplane with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is not a difficult process, and there is helpful information available on the FAA website. It is, however, an important process for a few reasons. One is simply that it is a legal requirement for all owners to register their aircraft and to have the registration onboard the aircraft.

Global Aerospace and Brexit
The United Kingdom’s decision to withdraw from the European Union, commonly referred to as Brexit, came about as a result of a referendum held in 2016.
