STOL Kit Lowers Premia on Beavers, Otters

AOG Air Support Inc. has worked out an arrangement with Jones Brown Inc., Insurance Brokers and Consultants, which has created a Safety Discount Program for aircraft equipped with AOG's Baron STOL (Safe Take-off and Landing) modification kits. The insurance premium "Safety Discount" on aircraft equipped with the Baron STOL Kits will be 15%.

The Baron STOL Kit, designed and patented by AOG, has greatly improved the safety and performance of the de Havilland Beaver and Otter aircraft. These aircraft are typically used for the transport of people and cargo to remote, rough terrain regions worldwide. AOG's Baron STOL Kits and other certified aircraft modification kits are shipped worldwide and installed by their many Trained Install Centres. All of AOG's modifications kits improve the handling, efficiency, safety and performance of these great aircraft.

The company's website claims, "Owners of Baron STOL kit modifications boast a 30% increase in lift, better fuel consumption with more load carrying capacity. The most important aspect is safety enhanced by the aircraft's performance."

"We're absolutely delighted that aviation insurance companies of the calibre of Jones Brown Inc. would extend a discount to our STOL-equipped aircraft," said AOG President and CEO David Barron. "It's like receiving the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, but in the aviation business. We are pleased to finally have our Baron STOL Kits recognized for their safety benefits and believe that this a first in the aviation industry."

AOG Air Support Inc., an ISO 9001 certified aircraft maintenance and manufacturing Company, is a fully integrated aircraft parts designer, fabricator, installer and marketer of custom aircraft modifications. AOG provides "leading edge" technology with its patent-protected Baron STOL Kits and other safety and performance modifications for the de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver and DHC-3 Otter aircraft.
