The rantings of a father, pilot and IT geek…

This might be a little bit of shameless promotion but here it is.  I have been writing articles for the site on and off for the last two weeks.  Here I am a few articles under the bridge and I am out of ideas.  I think it is just writers block. I hope anyway…

If you have any ideas let me know…

Life Insurance
3 May 2006, admin @ 7:26 pm

This is probably a weird way to start my blog but it is on my mind.  I have my private pilots license and I came to my attention a couple of weeks ago that my life insurance policy through my employer doesn’t cover me in the event that I die while acting as a pilot.  This presents a huge problem for me and my family.

I started shopping arround for life insurance that would cover me if I was acting as pilot and the only policies that I could find were via Avemco (a major Aviation insurance provider) and the AOPA (Aircraft Owner and Pilots Association).  The rates for both policies are around $500 per year…  1/2 million coverage, 20 year term, I am 29.  Seems like a bit much to me.  I don’t want to fly again until I have coverage and I can’t seem to find anything cheaper.

The who exercise seems like a joke because small aircraft accidents are less likely than automobile accidents.  They claim it has something to do with pilots living a more risky life style.  (We are allegedly comparable to scuba divers, hand gliders and sky divers.)

Hopefully I will figure out this life insurance quandry this week.
