Any health requirements from insurers for Sport Pilots?
Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 3:11 pm
It is well known and widely advertised that Sport Pilots are not required to have FAA medical.
However is this true for insurers? If you are just Sport Pilot license holder, never applied for FAA medical (or had it lapsed long time ago) - is it practical/possible to be insured as is? Would insurer demand some health certification beyond Sport License? Or jack up rates significantly?
I'd appreciate the opinion of insurance specialist - as well as to hear real world experience with insurers from SPs who are not PP on this subject.
Thanks in advance!
