ian5708 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi, I'm soon to be entering the world of PPG in the UK. I have a background as a Commercial PG tandem pilot and was a PG instructor l, both jobs were in New Zealand. I will be staying with my parents and friends in the UK and would like to get my gear insured, mainly for theft and fire. I don't think it would be an option under my parents house contents and would like a policy of my own ideally. Also who would insure me for 3rd party liability? I have no formal PPG training and have no desire to join the BHPA and don't want to have to do a PPG course and obtain a UK rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 You will be stuck between a rock and a hard place I think. There is a thread going on about insurance and the almost impossible task of obtaining some when 'aviation' is mentioned, unless the quote is ridiculously high. Simon offers 3rd party cover via Axa but I think they require confirmation of training. Simon will be able to confirm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not offer cover via AXA We have our own insurers who are underwritten by Lloyds of London. But yes, we can offer 3rd party insurance to those who have training / can fly and have the required base knowledge.

Maybe once I get my motor launches dialled I'll do a PPG conversion course with you or a school so that I have a UK rating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi Simon, I'm planning to finally get across to a club fly in this summer - do you require pilots to have insurance cover to fly at the event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitsey Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hello there, Just would also like to know. I am looking to become insured and attend some fly in's. I have been trained via skyskool linked to Parajet here in Dorset. I see that confirmation is required via PMC. Is the training i have already under taken suitable or will i need to take further test/training with PMC, if further is required can i ask what is required. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
