Experimental and kit-built aircraft deserve informed preparation.
From builder’s risk through Phase I and ongoing operation, Danby Aero helps owners present the aircraft, pilot and transition plan clearly, evaluate coverage choices and prepare for underwriting.
Coverage that evolves with the aircraft
Builder’s risk through completion
Protect the project, components, avionics and accumulated investment while the aircraft is being built.
Transition to flight
Prepare for first flight, Phase I, named-pilot requirements, transition training and the move from project coverage to flying risk.
Valuation, pilot and training
Address completed value, avionics, modifications, pilot experience and training plans before approaching the market.
A complete underwriting story
We organize the aircraft, pilot, training and use information underwriters need before your renewal or purchase becomes urgent.
Your insurance decision should start with a conversation.
MOSAIC changed the picture for experimental aircraft too
Experimental amateur-built aircraft aren't limited to the old “light-sport aircraft” definition anymore — some may now qualify for Sport Pilot operation under the same performance-based test as legacy certified aircraft. If you're building, buying or already flying an E-AB aircraft, it's worth understanding exactly where it stands.
