Insurance for private flying in USA
Hi,
I intend to do some flights in a C172 while on holiday in USA on my PPL.
Normal holiday insurance doesn't cover this as i checked this morning. so where do i get cover from in case of unlikely event of hospitalisation caused by private flying in USA??
Cheers Trev

You could try Traffords, I've used them twice now and always found them good to deal with (although touch wood have never needed them!)
They specialise in flying holidays etc and have very reasonable rates and will quickly get a quote back to you if you fill in their online form.

Renters Insurance
Don't know how much is fact and how much fiction.....but a lot has been made, on various threads and fora (forums?).
Apparently some/many flying clubs don't provide this type of coverage as standard.

If you are self-fly renting: Do not fly without Renter's insurance.............
Exactly how you set it up is up to you: It can be difficult as shown by above AVWEB link but do it somehow.

Thanks for the replies, Renters insurance should cover Flying & any mishap or hospital visits then, as well as normal holiday insurance for the other holiday cover without flying.
Think this answers your question Deepak i have already applied. Cost £42.00 for the CAA to validate, you need forms SRG 1160, SRG1187 which you send to CAA & Form 8060-71 which you download from site (link below) fill in & send to USA.

Hi Is it possible to rent a plane in the USA with a UK JAR-PPL? I thought you had to convert and get a FAA PPL?

Renter's Aircraft Insurance Coverage: The Quiet Problem
Does anyone have recent experience of obtaining renter's insurance using their real, foreign, address? Equally, is the practice of giving an accomodation address (like the FBO's) 'safe' in a legal sense?

The nice man (Steve Papi) at Willow Air:
- Talked me through filling in the forms
- Put me in touch with an FAA bod based in the UK who could process them (for a fee)
All you then need to do is complete a BFR to validate the licence - which can again be arranged, at Southend, through Willow Air. (I've still got to do that bit).
Means no time wasted, while on holiday, getting your licence sorted.

MODS: Hope this doesn't fall foul of advertising ban - I have no involvement with Willow Air, beyond using them to get my FAA PPL issued.
