Hi

First posted this on the Wannabee forum, but told to have a look here. The difference with me is that I'm just a student pilot, I don't hold a PPL (yet!)

I've had a couple of flying lessons, and am hooked, and want to continue. Unfortunately, the one thing that really bothers me is that all life insurance and other policies I have state that they would be invalidated if I, (or my family), made a claim if an accident happened. They state that they will only pay up if something happens whilst flying as a passenger on a commmercial airliner.

I have dependents, so where does that leave me?? Because I am a student pilot, am I automatically insured with the flying school, or have I got to get separate life insurance? If so, do Sovereign, (mentioned above) do (reasonably) cheap insurance for students?

What did YOU all do when you were students?

Any info will be most welcome.
