Expat Insurance For Aviators

Hi All,

I'm an Australian currently based in Brisbane, but about to spend a lot of my time over in the Philippines for my current day job in Advertising. This will be going on for the next few years.

The goal while I'm over there is to do a licence conversion, get a local instructor rating and use this as a ticket for hour building on weekends. I currently hold an Australian CPL with ATPL subjects, a Multi-Engine Instrument Rating and an extraordinarily healthy 230 hours.

The big question is this: Where can I get cost effective insurance that would cover for piloting a light aircraft abroad?

My employer is happy to pay for Expat Insurance, but it's incredibly difficult to find one that doesn't exclude "piloting an aircraft" from coverage, or that charges a $5000 additional charge or more to remove that exclusion.

I'm not too worried about including life insurance or the likes, mostly health and third party damage coverage in the highly unlikely event of an off-field landing.

Happy for any skerrick of advice/wisdom that anyone can give me on this front.

Thanks all,

Brendan.
