Q:Are instructors covered under the policy?
A:Yes they are. Our wording states in the event of there being a qualified flying instructor or examiner on board the aircraft for the purpose of advanced instruction of a Pilot shown in Item 7 of the schedule, the flying instructor or examiner shall be deemed to be a permitted Pilot under this Policy. Ab-Initio Instruction for the purpose of obtaining a licence is not covered. This means use of the aircraft for flight training of a pilot shown in the Schedule, for a purpose other than obtaining a licence necessary to command the aircraft. Advanced instruction includes but is not limited to continuation training, instruction to gain a rating and conversion training. If you have a Pay As You Fly / On Demand or Ground Cover+ policy you will need to book an Insured Flying Day in your calendar.

Q:How do I report my flying hours in the proposal?
A:We need to know the total hours each pilot that will be named on the policy has logged on the category of aircraft being insured, Ie Total hours on all Fixed-Wing aircraft. Then the number of hours each pilot has logged on the class of aircraft being insured, Ie Single Engine Piston (SEP) Multi Engine Piston (MEP) Single Engine Turboprop (SET). Hours on each class count and they can be added together to provide the total number of hours logged. We also need to know if any pilot has under 10 hours logged on the aircraft, model and variant being insured. NOTE: Should you have hours on non powered gliders these cannot be include. Hours on powered / motor gliders and Fixed-Wing microlights may be included under Total Hours on Fixed-Wing aircraft

Q:Am I covered to carry passengers if we are "Cost Sharing" the flight?
A:Yes you are covered. As a private pilot you are allowed to carry up to six cost-sharing passengers in a light aircraft providing, no profit is made. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) says costs do not have to be shared equally but the pilot must make a contribution. We suggest you contact the CAA if you are in any doubt of the rules around this. No profit is allowed in this situation, as that would make it a commercial flight for which an Air Operator Certificate would be needed from the CAA. It is illegal to conduct commercial flights without that certificate.

Advanced instruction includes but is not limited to continuation training, instruction to gain a rating and conversion training. We do not cover any Ab-Initio Instruction.
