What is a Pilot life insurance company
A Pilot life insurance company is a business that specialises in financial protection for pilots. Sports Financial Services have a 20 year history of helping people who participate in extreme sports like flying. We have the knowledge and understanding of the needs of those who participate in hazardous sports and occupations.
Its important to note that the underwriting of life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection for pilots can vary. This is dependent on a number of factors such as your level of participation in the activity. This is one of the reasons why a specialist pilot life insurance company can be beneficial in making sure you obtain the correct level of cover for you, your circumstances and all aspects of your flying activity.
Here are some areas that insurers might consider when assessing your enquiry for pilot life insurance cover:
- How is your health and lifestyle? (e.g., alcohol consumption, exercise and smoking)
- What is your current employment and does it take you on international travel? (e.g., UK, Europe and/or worldwide)
- What type of flying activities do you engage in?
- What is your level of participation in flying (e.g., amateur, semi-professional or professional)?
- What type of aircraft do you fly?
- How many flying hours each year?
- Are you a member of the Sport’s Governing Body? (e.g., The Light Aircraft Association www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk )
- What geographic locations do you travel to participate in flying (e.g., UK, Europe or Worldwide)?
Such questions will help us find the facts that insurance companies require in relation to you, your sport and your lifestyle.
Does a Pilot life insurance company provide other financial protection?
Here at Sports Financial Services, we offer other financial services as well as life insurance. This includes critical illness cover and income protection. Critical illness cover is a way to cover specific illnesses or medical conditions that might disrupt your life, family and finances. Anyone who takes part in extreme sports like flying and enquires about critical illness cover will have their enquiry assessed against the activities they pursue. Cover for different types of flying activities will be assessed differently.
The other cover you may want to consider is income protection, particularly if you take part in high-risk sports like flying. Income protection could provide you with peace of mind if you are unable to work due to injury or sickness. This type of cover is perfect if you have a loan, mortgage, credit cards, regular bills or family financial commitments then you may want to consider what would happen if you were unable to meet the payments because of a loss of income if you are unable to work. Applications for income protection are dependent on many factors, for example, whether you have previously suffered any injuries as a result of flying and whether they have caused you to have a significant amount of time off work.
Both income protection and critical illness cover may include premium loadings, restrictions or exclusions as a result of participation in some activities like flying. You will be able to discuss this further with your adviser.
