17 Who Needs Insurance? Nobody and Everbody?

18 Who Needs Insurance? Nobody and Everybody! Unlike auto insurance UAV insurance ISN T compulsory (at least for now). No requirement for insurance included within the FAA s NPRM. Commercial UAS Modernization Act introduced to U.S. Senate on 12 May would require liability insurance, but may or may not move ahead. Nobody Exposures DO exist for every UAS operator. Already have seen customers of UAV operators requiring proof of insurance. Your first/next accident could lead to a lawsuit. Everybody 18

19 Regulations (333 Exemptions/CoAs) and Insurance

20 Regulations and Insurance 333 Exemptions & COAs FAA Approval Options: 333 Exemptions and COAs Most State owned UAVs will be considered Public Aircraft COAs applicable to most State UAV operations ( There is a wide ranging insurance industry response to 333 Exemptions and CoAs. Insurance is available for nearly any UAS operator in the market 333/CoA holder or not. Wide number of carriers involved, some with aviation experience, others without. Policies differ in wording and how illegal operations may, or may not, be addressed. Beyond FAA operational authority, insurance carriers often develop their own standards for what acceptable risks are. Frequently, these may exceed FAA minimums. Insurance and UAS industries are really still getting to know each other in many respects. 20

27 BUYing UAV Insurance What is the process for getting coverage in place?

28 BUYing UAV Insurance The Three Key Players Broker They work for you and strive to find the best coverage options available by accessing multiple insurance markets on your behalf. Underwriter Works for the insurance company itself and reviews information provided by the broker to determine coverage availability and policy pricing. You and the State Departments and Universities you Serve The information you provide to your broker, and the relationship you develop with him or her (and in some cases even your underwriter) can be the key to a successful placement. No one knows your State s operations better than you/they. Ask about UAV operations and pass along that information. 28

29 Underwriting Considerations UAV underwriting is based on traditional aircraft underwriting foundation Almost all aviation underwriting stems from four basic points of risk analysis. Operator experience Make and model information Purpose of Use Location of Operations Values and limits required Aircraft Payload Ground Equipment Operational procedures/risk mitigation items Training 29
