AVEMCO Announces Course Addition To Safety Rewards Program

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.
