Aviation insurance & risk

Preparing an aviation underwriting submission

A useful submission explains the business, aircraft interests, services, people and contracts. Organize evidence around the operation rather than sending an undifferentiated collection of applications.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE

An operational scenario

An FBO seeks renewal terms while adding mobile fueling and a larger customer aircraft. Prior-year revenue alone does not describe the changed operational and accumulation exposure.

Illustrative example only; this is not a Montridge client or reported claim.

The insurance distinction

An application is an underwriting representation, not proof of coverage. A requested limit or coverage box becomes meaningful only when accepted and reflected in the actual quotation, binder and policy.

What to examine

Build a short operation narrative, identify changes and reconcile values, loss runs and contracts. Resolve inconsistent entity names and missing activities before submission. Premium depends on the specific risk and market assessment; no universal cost formula is appropriate.

Evidence to gather

  • Operations narrative and changes
  • Aircraft, payroll and revenue schedules
  • Loss runs and explanation of controls
  • Contracts and requested coverage specifications

Questions for your review

  • What changed since the last submission?
  • Do values and entity names reconcile across documents?
  • Which requested terms remain unresolved?
