Re: Debating Over; Selling Duck

Sad to hear you're selling, but am anticipating the fun of a "new" Tcraft in your future!! Too bad the insurance is being a pain...they better get used to the "self certified" medicals... you'd think that when it made it past federal rule, it would be sort of a no-brainer!!!

Let us know how Avemco does,I'm in the same boat, Avemco insurance and sport lic. Many years ago when I ran into the C-150 Avemco settled with the owner in 4 days, so I've been with them for 22 years.
I'm watching you story and see how they do.

I've had insurance thru AUA for several years thru EAA Vintage.When sport was passed I asked them what I needed to do if I ever chose to not get a medical.They knew all about sport & said I needed to do nothing at all if I chose to do sport pilot.I also had a claim once & they were very responsive & fast on payment.I've been very pleased with them.

Re: Debating Over; Selling Duck

I am 66 years old and decided not to renew my medical when it expired last August. I have commercial, instrument CFII. I purchased my insurance through AOPA insurance agency. Last July, I called AOPA insurance agency and told them that I would not be renewing my medical and asked if I would be covered in case of accident. Their reply was that the driver's licence was in fact a legal medical and that I would be covered. Their insurance carrier is AIG Aviation.

I'm insured through Avemco. I just renewed mine and asked at that time if I would be covered on my BC12D with an expired medical, as it would be legal to fly under the LSA rules. My agent told me yes, a valid drivers license IS a medical for LSA purposes.....you DO have to ground yourself under certain medical circumstances though.

Re: Debating Over; Selling Duck

It seems it is the claim adjuster agency LDA, that is having a problem. And Avemco said they must go alone with whatever LDA says. Thought I was buying insurance from Avemco, now they are passing the buck. Wouldn't you know?

Re: Debating Over; Selling Duck

They are not passing the buck in my humble opinion. Looks like they are using outside adjusters so they can deny claims. I they wonder why they get into law suits....... Deny payment on a true/need claim will do it every time.... Sorry they are jerking you around Lee I am losing all respect for Avemco real quick knowing this.......
