Test Pilots (production, experimental, prototype & non-production aircraft)

Life Insurance for Test Pilots

Key Considerations for Test Pilots

Test Pilots can undertake a wide range of flying activities.

Many Test Pilots may find Life Insurance at more or less standard terms from selected insurers if they operate solely in the UK.

There are factors which may mean a Test Pilot will see premiums increased or be declined for cover including:-

  • The type of test flights you undertake
  • The types of aircraft you test and whether they are:-
    • non-production aircraft
    • production aircraft
    • experimental aircraft
    • prototype aircraft
  • Any flying relating to activities as an armed forces reservist

You should make clear if all or any part of your duties will involve higher risk types of flying.

If you are not flying commercially, your needs will be different – you should review our details for Leisure Pilots.
