Description: Sponsored by AssuredPartners Aerospace | Education, focus, and discipline help lower insurance rates if applied consistently in our flying. How? If we are informed about the type of mishaps that are driving up rates and if we make a concerted effort to avoid them, we can save the insurance carriers money—which in turn saves us money. The AOPA Air Safety Institute team researched insurance claims in general aviation to understand the type of claims that can drive up the insurance rates. And the findings may surprise you. Watch Reality Check: What are the Costliest Insurance Claims to see how you can be part of the solution and help reduce the cost of aviation insurance.
