Insurance - Solo/Renters

Insurance Recommendation

Brampton Flight Centre strongly recommends that all student pilots and renters obtain non-owned Aircraft Liability Insurance before beginning flight training or renting aircraft. This insurance protects you in the event of damage to the aircraft or third-party liability claims that may not be covered by the club's insurance policy.

Important: BFC recommends a minimum coverage of $10,000 for non-owned aircraft liability. This covers your deductible responsibility in the event of an incident involving a club aircraft.

Why You Need Insurance

While BFC carries insurance on all club aircraft, there are situations where the pilot may be personally liable for costs, including:

  • The aircraft insurance deductible in the event of damage during your flight
  • Third-party liability claims exceeding the club's coverage
  • Damage caused by negligence

Non-owned aircraft liability insurance is relatively affordable and provides important financial protection. We strongly encourage you to obtain coverage before your first solo flight.
