Short Term Non-owned Insurance Now Available!

Posted on by

What is Non-Owned?

Non-owned or as it is more commonly called, “Renters insurance”, is a liability policy that can provide bodily injury, property damage and aircraft hull protection for a pilot that is flying an aircraft they do not own.

 

“Do not own” is the key phrase. You do not have to own an aircraft to be found liable for damage or injuries. It is important to note that this is liability coverage; in addition, it is not only for rental aircraft. A borrowed, or even a flying club aircraft can put the pilot in a position of potential responsibility or liability.

Very simply put, liability means the coverage is used if the named insured is found liable for damage or injury to a third party.

Most Non-owned policies are annual (12 month) policies.

What if you have you found yourself in a situation where you need non-owned (renters insurance), but only for a short period of time? Maybe on vacation and want to get a checkout and fly at the local FBO, or you only need to use an aircraft you do not own for a week or two. Do you really need a year long “annual ” policy?  Maybe what you need is a daily, weekly or monthly policy.

Depending on the state, now you can buy a Short Term Non-Owned Insurance Policy with the click of your mouse.

Looking for Short Term CFI Non-owned Insurance?  That’s available too.

Note: a few states only allow annual policies.

Flying Musicians 2022 Solo Scholarship Recipient

May 10, 2022, Fort Worth, TX:  The Flying Musicians Association (FMA) is proud to announce the selection of our fifteenth overall scholarship recipient of the FMA Solo program: Jovencia (Jovie) Webbeking from Washington state.

We received thirty-seven outstanding nominees from all across the United States and Canada. The FMA board had to choose from 6 finalists. They were overwhelmed with the level of talent and passion. “As typical all six are well qualified and talented. The decision is not easy.” – Dr. Ian Blair Fries “Again, terribly hard choices. Each kid, every one of them, would be a good candidate.” – Tim Kern, MBA, CAM “Wow, all worthy finalists, what a hard choice!” – Louise Vickerman, principal harpist Utah Symphony. “If only we had the resources to fund more scholarships, I would have been delighted to select all six finalists!” – Prof. H. Paul Shuch

Jovie will make an excellent pilot as she has proven that hard work, persistence, dedication, and passion works. She is an outstanding Flutist. Her approach to learning to fly will guarantee success. “In the fall, I will attend Vanderbilt university where I plan to major in mechanical engineering and minor in music performance while still managing to get in flight hours.” Read more at FlyingMusicians.org.

John Zapp, co-founder and President of FMA, said, “The great news is that FMA has grown by thirty-seven very talented, motivated, and passionate student musicians. They will all make excellent members of our community”

The FMA Solo Scholarships are made possible by our sponsors, donors, and members donating their time and talents. Though popular fund raising events such as HangarJAMs and music for corporate functions have been curtailed over the past 2 years we have persisted with overwhelming support from across aviation and music communities.

Follow Jovie as she blogs about her journey. Visit FMAsolo.org to congratulate and add your words of encouragement and wisdom.

The 2023 FMA Solo program kicks off this fall. This scholarship is unique, bringing an aspiring music student from zero time to solo. FMA covers roughly fifteen hours of dual instruction, online ground school, training materials, and additional products from sponsors. FMA envisioned and instituted this scholarship program because it recognizes the parallel skills involved in flying and performing music and wants to promote both areas of growth in our inspired and dedicated future leaders.

“Flying and music are my two passions in life and the Flying Musicians have put both of those together for a great cause. I believe educating the next generation is so important for music and aviation to continue on.” – Aaron Tippin
