AVEMCO recently announced acceptance
of the new King Schools Practical Risk Management for Weather
course as an approved training course in AVEMCO's Safety Rewards
Program. The course will be available for purchase in early
May and was screened by King Schools at their booth during Sun n'
Fun last week.
In the summer of 2003, AVEMCO launched the Safety Rewards
Program initiative to take an active role in reducing the frequency
and severity of accidents in the General Aviation community.
In addition to educating the marketplace, the program was designed
to give premium credits to AVEMCO policyholders for participating
in specialized training programs related to the type of flying they
do. The program was later expanded to include credits for
completion of the King Schools original course, AVEMCO/King
Practical Risk Management for Pilots.
The risk management aspect of AVEMCO's Safety Rewards Program
came about as a result of AVEMCO's collaboration with John and
Martha King of King Schools. Jim Lauerman asked the Kings to
develop a Risk Management Course for the pilots of general aviation
aircraft because of their efforts to address this issue in several
articles in general aviation magazines. AVEMCO worked with
the Kings on the effort and the Practical Risk Management for
Pilots course was developed. AVEMCO offers up to 10% in
premium credits for customers who participate in the Safety Rewards
Program that now includes credit for the new Weather course.
"We have been very pleased by the
interest in the Safety Rewards Program over the past 14 months,
especially by the volume of completions by our policyholders in the
King Practical Risk Management course. Now we're energized
about the opportunity for our customers to have an additional
course from the Kings, particularly on the important topic of
weather and managing flight risks through risk management
understanding of weather," said Jim Lauerman, AVEMCO's Executive
Vice President and Chief Underwriting Officer.
"Weather is unforgiving. It can kill you and the people
you love. And, the sad, truly tragic fact is that every
weather-related accident could have been avoided - every single
one. Based on the original Risk Management Course's value and
importance to pilots, we expanded the series to include Practical
Risk Management for Weather to focus on the important weather
decisions that every pilot has to make before takeoff and . . .
even more vital, in the air," said John King, co-owner of King
Schools.
The King Practical Risk Management for Weather course doesn't
teach pilots about weather, but managing the risks associated with
weather and its constant changes. It analyzes pilot options
and the ability to recognize them quickly so the correct decisions
can be accurately made.
