Insurance should be available ELSA or SLSA. The qualifying factors will be your experience in tailwheel airplanes. If you'd like ot get a quote with no obligations you could contact the EAA Aircraft Insurance Plan at www.eaaainsurance.org and submit an online quote request.

If you are determined to use tailwheel aircraft for your Sport Pilot training I would recommend you buy liability insurance only and require your Students to have non-owners (renters) insurance that includes liability insurance for hysical damage to the aircraft. Your insurance will run about $2,000...

I congradulate you for wanting to get involved with the Sport Pilot effort. I believe this is a great way for individuals to get involved in flying or for those who are staying involved in flying as a Sport Pilot. You can get insurance for a new Sport Pilot flight school but you will have to get you...

Typically the insurance companies willinclude a stipulation that states 50% of the annual premium is fully earned as soon as the policy starts. If you are more that half way through the policy trem this should not effect you. The other matter that may come into paly is the possibility of a short-rat...

Aircraft is obtainable for commercial use and flying club use of a LSA. Further, if the aircraft is an LSA or a Sport Pilot qualified Standard aircraft insurance is available for this siutaiton as well.. This being said it is important to understand that the insurance companies will still carefully ...

With light sport aircraft, similar to experimental amateur built aircraft, 70% to 80% of the overall insurance premium is dveloped by the hull insurance when you are buying all risks hull insurance, (i.e. flight, taxi, and ground). What drives up the cost for aircraft insurance faster than any other...

Charlie, I sorry my response wasn't clear... Subject to all of the terms and conditions of the non-owned aircraft insurance policy, the indiviudal aircraft non-owner who purchases non-owned aircraft insurance policy will have insurance under the non-owned aircraft insurance policy when the policyhol...

Charlie... If the owner of an aircraft chooses to not obtain insurance (liability and/or hull insurance), I am not aware of any exclusions or conditions within the available non-owners (renters) insurance policies that would exclude or restrict insurance coverage for the policyhoder (i.e. the non-ow...

Good conversation, albeit a little depressing, when you start talking about insurance or sport pilot training. As an independent agent I can tell you there are many hurdles to be overcome in setting insurance for ANY new flight schools, regardless of sport pilot and light sport aircraft. The insuran...

Charlie,

I'll check it out...

Hello, Sorry to jump in late on your conversation at this late juncture, but I agree with much that has been said, all good comments, however I can add from an insurability standpoint the CT is highly insurable. Yes, there have been some losses, many of which may be attributed to pilot error and the...

Hi Steve! Congratulations on your new trike. Although I've never had the chance to fly one they sure look like a bunch of fun. Insurance for trikes is a tough subject. I've been working with EAA for more than 2 years trying to get some of the US baesd aviation insurance companies to offer insurance ...

Good Morning Sean! You will see your premium go down slowly as you gain experience (flight time). There are different break-points with each insurance company. The other factor is that right now there might only be one insurance company that will offer insurance terms because you are a Student Pilot...

Hi Sean! Thanks for your question... It is true that it is difficult...and MAY be very challenging, to arrange insurance for a Student Pilot in a LSA tailwheel aircraft, but that's not to say it is absolutely impossible. (I learned along time ago to never say never because just as soon as you say ne...
