Our goal at DCI is to support the flight school community in its endeavor to deliver the best possible training, because better pilot training will benefit all of us in general aviation.
Agricultural Aircraft Insurance
Aerial application is a specialized area of aviation insurance. It is important that your commerical aviation insurance broker is familiar with the coverage necessary to protect you and your business. DCI understands your AG aircraft are high-valued assets and need to be completely protected in a time of loss. We are also experts in everything agricultural aviation insurance related, including chemical coverage, adjacent field coverage, and the application of seed and fertilizers, to name a few.
It is not just important for your aviation insurance broker to be familiar with the insurance needed; it is also imperative for your broker to be familiar with the AG insurance marketplace. Insurance companies change underwriting guidelines constantly, and it might be a mistake to rely on a non-aviation insurance specialist for your insurance needs. If your broker does not represent the entire marketplace, your needs may not be met. AG operators need a broker who will aggressively shop the entire marketplace on a yearly basis to guarantee the best coverage available at the lowest possible rate.
DCI has decades of agricultural aircraft insurance experience. We work with our AG operators to determine the best possible coverage at the best price. We can make AG insurance simple.
Hangar / Property Insurance
DCI can provide property coverage for your hangar and its contents, including
mechanics tools and mobile equipment. Most standard property insurance companies
and their agents cannot provide coverage for the aviation risk. Our team at
DCI uses underwriters that are the finest in the aviation property business.
Our team, combined with the financial strength and long-term partnership of
our carriers places us at the top of our industry.
Workers' Compensation Coverage
Employers work hard to provide a safe job environment for employees; however, accidents can happen anywhere, anytime, no matter the precautions taken. DCI can offer Workers' compensation coverage to assist in the event of an accident.
Workers' compensation coverage objectives:
Workers' compensation is a no-fault system. It pays for job-related injuries if they arise and are sustained in the course of employment. Workers' compensation coverage also pays for occupational diseases if they arise out of the employment and are due to causes characteristic of or peculiar to the particular occupation. Additionally, Workers' compensation pays for defense costs in the form of employer's liability coverage. This coverage is included in the Workers' compensation policy.
Call us for a comprehensive review of your Workers' compensation needs.
Pay-By-The-Hour Coverage
The latest and most innovative type of coverage for commercial operators is
the pay-by-the-hour program. DCI is pleased to offer this program that was
specifically created to benefit the commercial aircraft operators in this
challenging economy, allowing customers to pay for aviation insurance when
they actually need it, by the flying hour.
DCI is aware that flying hours down in many parts of the country, leaving commercial operators with less cash flow to pay the traditional premiums associated with operating flight schools, charter operations, flying clubs, rental operations and more. We understand that the fixed monthly premiums can make months of below-average flying hours very difficult.
Through the new pay-by-the-hour program, you pay an hourly rate for each hour the airplane flies (based on the Hobbs Meter). With a fixed monthly base rate, this program allows you to maintain cash flow and have your insurance costs directly correspond to revenue. Additionally, there is a cap in place that makes sure you only pay as much as you would have paid had you purchased the annual premium, no matter how many hours the airplane flies.
This program is made available through use of an online scheduling and aviation information management system. All flight hours are logged through an easy-to-use system that then emails automatically generated reports on a monthly basis to DCI for billing purposes; it's that simple.
This is a no lose program for commercial operators and may in fact help to increase revenue and reduce workload.
