Enstrom Owner’s Insurance Program: Celebrating a Successful Year
It’s hard to believe we’re already approaching the first renewals for policyholders in the newly resurrected Enstrom Owner’s Insurance Program.
Around this time last year, Aviation Specialty Insurance, in coordination with Allianz Global, Roger Sharkey, and many others at Enstrom, brought the renowned insurance program back to life, adding yet another benefit to Enstrom ownership.
Founder Eleanor Shay launched the original program in 1979 to offer below-market rates exclusively to Enstrom owners, the idea being that Enstrom helicopters’ safety record should be isolated from the rest of the light helicopter market because it was far better! As a result, policyholders saw lower rates.
Now, with a year’s worth of data to back it up, we can confirm that this principle still holds true for the reintroduced program. Customers not only receive ultra-competitive rates, but also tiered rating credits, liability limit options, instant rate indications, and more! In almost every scenario, we can have a quote to you by phone or email within just minutes of the request.
If you own or operate an Enstrom, you automatically gain access to this program. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a student pilot or an ATP professional, whether you fly private or for commercial, or whether prefer piston or turbine, you are still eligible! We’ll help you find the right tier based on your pilot experience, hull value, aircraft use, and aircraft type. And because we use this tiered/matrix approach, it’s easy to understand pricing breaks, ensuring predictable renewal pricing and no more surprise increases!
To promote safety and keep costs low for everyone, we do implement a few additional requirements, but these are all things Enstrom owners are likely already doing. First, all maintenance must be done at an Enstrom-approved service center. Second, you must complete an annual training check out with an Enstrom-approved CFI.
