What Every Flight School Owner Should Know About Aviation Insurance

What Every Flight School Owner Should Know About Aviation Insurance

Join us live on April 9 as aviation insurance specialist Beth Clark of Marsh McLennan Agency breaks down what flight school owners need to know about protecting their operation.

By Tim Jedrek

Is your flight school actually covered, or just insured?

There is a difference, and most flight school owners do not find out which one they have until something goes wrong. On Thursday, April 9, The Aviation Business Podcast is recording live with Beth Clark, Aviation and Business Insurance Specialist at Marsh McLennan Agency. If you run a flight school and you have not had a real conversation about your coverage in the past year, this is the hour to show up for.

Here is what we are covering:

Beth works with aviation businesses at one of the largest insurance agencies in North America. She spends her days helping operators understand what their policies actually protect, where the gaps are, and what it costs to close them. This is not a general business insurance conversation. This is aviation-specific, flight school-focused, and built for the person who owns or runs the operation.

We are going to dig into the insurance questions flight school owners ask most, the ones they should be asking but are not, and the coverage details that can make or break a claim. If you have aircraft on the line, students in the pattern, or instructors on payroll, this episode is directly relevant to your business.

Why Show Up Live?

You can always catch the episode after it drops, but the live recording is your chance to get your specific questions into the conversation. Running a Part 141 school? Operating a multi-aircraft fleet? Thinking about adding a new aircraft type or a second location? Bring your situation. We will see what we can get to in the hour.

Set the reminder. Show up at 2:00 PM Central on April 9. And send this to any flight school owner who has ever said “I think our insurance is fine.”
