Loss of License Protection

Corporate and commercial pilots have always struggled to obtain adequate insurance. The majority of insurance companies have previously advised pilots that they are “uninsurable” because there are too many risks that could result in their losing their medical certificate. Many health concerns that would allow employees in the traditional workplace to continue working could cost a pilot his or her license due to strict medical qualifications. 

While most traditional insurance companies have effectively abandoned this sector, Petersen International Underwriters has created a loss of license insurance plan that will cover pilots if they lose their medical certificate and are unable to fly. 

Corporate aviation is a booming industry. Many corporate aviation companies want to attract the top pilots, but in most cases are unable to provide adequate insurance, or offer none at all. Now you can prescribe a solution by providing insurance coverage to your pilot clients through West Coast Global Insurance Services.
