AVEMCO recently
announced acceptance of the new King Schools Practical Risk
Management for Weather course as an approved training course in
AVEMCO's Safety Rewards Program. The course will be available for
purchase in early May.
In the summer of 2003, AVEMCO launched the Safety Rewards
Program initiative to take an active role in reducing the frequency
and severity of accidents in the General Aviation community. In
addition to educating the marketplace, the program was designed to
give premium credits to AVEMCO policyholders for participating in
specialized training programs related to the type of flying they
do. The program was later expanded to include credits for
completion of the King Schools original course, AVEMCO/King
Practical Risk Management for Pilots.
The risk management aspect of AVEMCO's Safety Rewards Program
came about as a result of AVEMCO's collaboration with John and
Martha King of King Schools. Jim Lauerman asked the Kings to
develop a Risk Management Course for the pilots of general aviation
aircraft because of their efforts to address this issue in several
articles in general aviation magazines. AVEMCO worked with the
Kings on the effort and the Practical Risk Management for Pilots
course was developed. AVEMCO offers up to 10% in premium credits
for customers who participate in the Safety Rewards Program that
now includes credit for the new Weather course.
"We have been very
pleased by the interest in the Safety Rewards Program over the past
14 months, especially by the volume of completions by our
policyholders in the King Practical Risk Management course. Now
we're energized about the opportunity for our customers to have an
additional course from the Kings, particularly on the important
topic of weather and managing flight risks through risk management
understanding of weather," said Jim Lauerman, AVEMCO's Executive
Vice President and Chief Underwriting Officer.
"Weather is unforgiving. It can kill you and the people you
love. And, the sad, truly tragic fact is that every weather-related
accident could have been avoided - every single one. Based on the
original Risk Management Course's value and importance to pilots,
we expanded the series to include Practical Risk Management for
Weather to focus on the important weather decisions that every
pilot has to make before takeoff and . . . even more vital, in the
air," said John King, co-owner of King Schools.
The King Practical Risk Management for Weather course doesn't
teach pilots about weather, but managing the risks associated with
weather and its constant changes. It analyzes pilot options and the
ability to recognize them quickly so the correct decisions can be
accurately made.
