Hi everyone, we have been seeing more enquiries from pilots about the types of insurances that they can have. It’s a real mix of options especially when you look at commercial, test, helicopter and military pilots.

Pilots have usually looked at loss of license insurance before and this is a good policy, but more and more are starting to see the benefits of income protection as an alternative. As with anything like this there are pros and cons to both and I’m talking about all these options in this episode.

The key takeaways:

• You can see significant differences for terms on life insurance and critical illness cover if the flying is part of a person’s occupation or their hobby.
• Options for income protection massively differ between the types of pilot.
• A case study of arranging income protection for a commercial pilot.

Next time Matt Rann is going to be back with me and we are going to be talking about how to access insurance when you have sickle cell disease. 

Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.
