Programs Offered By Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services And
Willis Global Aviation
An aircraft hull and liability insurance program for the
Eclipse 500 VLJ was announced Wednesday by Eclipse Aerospace.
Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services, which represents the leading
underwriter of Eclipse aircraft, and aviation insurance broker
Willis Global Aviation, are offering hull and liability insurance
available to qualifying aircraft operators who have participated in
the recently announced factory initial and recurrent training
programs offered by EAI in conjunction with its training partner,
SimCom.
“The Chartis insurers have provided hull and liability
insurance for the Eclipse fleet since the first aircraft was put
into service,” said Greg Sterling, Vice President and
Division Manager of Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services,
Inc.’s Light Aviation Division. “The benefits of
simulator training for general aviation pilots are well proven. The
fact that EAI operators will have access to Level D simulators,
advanced training courseware and factory-trained instructors helps
give us the confidence we need to offer qualifying EAI owners
competitive insurance solutions.”
“Since 2004, Willis has continued its efforts to develop
appropriate hull and liability premiums based on the high level of
training and excellent safety record of the Eclipse,” said
Garrett Hanrahan, Chief Executive Officer of Willis Global Aviation
in North America. Willis Global Aviation will offer competitive
insurance solutions to operators of Eclipse aircraft who complete
EAI factory-approved training.
EAI’s comprehensive factory training program includes:
- A Pilot Experience Questionnaire – A survey that
evaluates pilot experience and personalizes the flight training
program;
- Jet Basics Course – A self-paced course, delivered via
CD, that familiarizes the customer with the basics of jet aircraft
operation;
- Flight Skills Assessment – An evaluation that determines
whether candidates are ready for type-rating training or require
supplementary training;
- Emergency Situation Training – A two-day program
consisting of hypoxia training and upset recovery training;
- Type-Rating Training – A knowledge- and skill-based
training and instruction;
- Mentoring Program – An operational instruction program
that provides newly type-rated Eclipse pilots with the ability to
operate in the National Airspace System with an increased level of
safety;
- Recurrent Training – A training program that occurs six
months after earning the type rating, or for more experienced
pilots, one year after earning the type rating; and,
- Differences Training – Instruction available for those
who fly modified aircraft that have been updated or installed with
new system configurations.
“Eclipse Aerospace is extremely proud of its
industry-leading training programs. An uncompromising, high
quality, factory training program is key to insuring the highest
level of safety for Eclipse pilots, operators and
passengers,” said Mason Holland, Chairman and President of
Eclipse Aerospace.
