Comprehensive Coverage for the Way You Fly
Ultralight aircraft have unique risk profiles—from lightweight airframes and short-field ops to club flying and seasonal use. Our program is purpose-built for that reality: flexible limits, clear eligibility, and fast proof of insurance.
Ultralight Owners
Protect your aircraft with flexible hull (physical damage) and third-party liability options. Choose agreed values, deductibles, and add-ons that match your airframe and usage.
Hangar & Storage
Extend protection to your hangar, tiedown, or storage location with optional premises liability and coverage for tools and contents—because risk doesn’t stop when the engine does.
Pilots (Recreational & Advanced)
Coverage aligned to your training and experience. Add named pilots, update hours easily, and adjust limits as your skills and flying profile evolve.
Clubs, Schools & Groups
Streamlined solutions for flying clubs, co-ownership, and training operations. Cover multiple pilots under one policy and include checkouts, training flights, and club activities where eligible.
Ultralight Liability Insurance
Liability is the essential protection for ultralight pilots and owners. It helps cover third-party injury and property-damage claims that can arise on the ground, during taxi, takeoff, flight, or landing. Many aerodromes and landowners also expect proof of liability before you operate from their property. Choose limits that fit your flying profile and field requirements, and scale coverage as you gain experience or change aircraft.
Third-Party Liability
Financial protection if your ultralight causes injury to others or damage to their property during covered operations. Flexible limits available to meet personal risk tolerance and typical aerodrome requirements.
Passenger Liability (when eligible)
Optional protection for two-seat Advanced Ultralights used for instruction or familiarization flights when the pilot and aircraft meet passenger-carriage requirements. (Basic Ultralights generally aren’t approved to carry passengers.) Eligibility and limits subject to underwriting and applicable rules.
Legal Protection
Coverage for defence costs, investigation, and settlement of covered claims—supported by aviation-savvy claims handlers—up to policy terms and limits.
Custom Solutions
Air1 also offers tailored add-ons for ultralights, including non-owned/renter’s liability when you fly club or borrowed aircraft, premises and hangar liability for private hangars, shared spaces, or tie-downs, club/school endorsements to support multi-pilot, training, and checkout environments, and event/fly-in coverage for temporary gatherings, displays, and fly-outs—so your protection matches exactly how and where you fly.

Passenger coverage varies based on the aircraft category, applicable regulations, and underwriting criteria.

Single-seat aircraft, however, do not include passenger coverage. Always review your policy details with your broker or insurer to confirm your specific coverage.
