SAFE Builds Up Membership Benefits Package
The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE) recently
fulfilled a key pledge to its members by successfully debuting its
instructor liability insurance program. The SAFE insurance plan
offers up to 25% in discounts for SAFE members, including those who
participate in the FAA Wings program, instructors who are
designated Master Instructors, and those who are claims free.
Qualified members can also finance their premium payments. A few of
the coverages under the SAFE plan include:
- Flight Instruction, checkouts, check rides, and personal or
business use in single-engine and multiengine landplanes,
sailplanes, single-engine seaplanes, LSAs, standard and
experimental categories
- Negligent Instruction Liability coverage (including ground
instruction)
- $1,000 Medical Payments, including the insured CFI
- $1,000 Personal Effects (headphones, charts, handhelds,
etc.)
- $25,000 Search and Rescue expense
- $25,000 Runway Foaming and Emergency expense
- $25,000 Damage to Hangars and Contents expense
During AirVenture, Master Instructor Lou Wipotnik of Mount
Prospect, IL became the first member to enroll in the new program.
The 1996 National Flight Instructor of the Year, Wipotnik qualified
for all of the additional discounts available to members under the
SAFE plan. According to Wipotnik, "I was really impressed with the
details of this insurance program."
He added, "I'm now receiving more comprehensive coverage than
the plan I had been using, yet paying an annual premium that's
eighteen percent lower!"
The SAFE insurance program is made available to members through
Aviation Insurance Resources and Starr Aviation Solutions and is
underwritten by Chubb Insurance.
