Insurance Discount May Pay for Your BPPP Training - American ...

www.bonanza.org
BPPP Online+Flight is less expensive
and does not require extra fuel to travel
to the training site, and eliminates other
travel costs such as food and lodging.
The insurance companies are not
only approving this new training option,
they are embracing it along with BPPP
LIVE by providing the same discounts
to aircraft owners who complete
either option. Most companies offer
a 5% premium discount. There are a
couple who offer 7.5% to 10% discounts,
which will cover most of if not all of the
cost of the training in many cases – for
the first time, insurance discounts
may completely pay the cost of typespecific
training.
In addition to the premium savings,
another benefit of these training
platforms is the ability to purchase
higher limits of liability coverage. Most
companies feel a better-trained pilot
deserves the opportunity to carry more
liability protection, and will only offer
the higher liability limits to those who
complete recognized training like BPPP
Online+Flight annually.
When you consider these benefits
and the additional safety that is gained
from BPPP, it is difficult to understand why
anyone would not want to participate.
If you are currently insured through
the ABS insurance program and
are taking the BPPP LIVE or BPPP
Online+Flight, these discounts are
already built into your premium. If you’re
currently insured elsewhere, please give
us a call so we can discuss your options
and help you realize these benefits. You
will be glad you did.
