Sporty’s Eastern Cincinnati (ECA) requires all pilots possess non-owners “renters” insurance
As noted on the Pilot Information page of Sporty’s ECA’s Aircraft Rental Agreement, and in ECA’s Customer and Airport Users Handbook, Sporty’s ECA does NOT maintain physical damage “hull insurance” on the aircraft in its fleet.
It is required that pilots obtain at least $60,000 of non-owners “hull” coverage when flying ECA aircraft. Many companies offer aircraft renter’s insurance. Sporty’s/ECA does not have a preference on the insurance company chosen by our renters.
Please use the following information when applying for insurance:
- Personal Non-Owned Coverage
- Single-Engine Piston Powered (or Multi-Engine Piston Powered if the Aztec)
- Bodily Injury and Property Damage: your choice on amount
- Medical Limit: your choice on amount
- Aircraft Physical Damage (Including loss of use): $60,000 (or $100,000 if the Aztec)
Companies will typically ask about aviation history, driving records, etc. Some will offer discounts for amount of flight experience, instrument rating, organization membership (AOPA, SAFE, CAP, FAA Wings, etc).
