TBMOPA Insurance Program

The TBM Owners and Pilot’s Association (TBMOPA) is introducing a new program which will allow its members to fly more safely and also save money on their TBM insurance costs.
Participating insurance underwriters are offering “no claims renewal bonuses, no claims bonuses or premium credits” following the completion of the safety programs offered at the annual TBMOPA convention.
The participating underwriters are:
ALLIANZ, W. BROWN, W.R. BERKLEY and PHOENIX
At the end of the TBMOPA annual meeting, TBMOPA members who attend the complete safety awareness program will receive a certificate of completion which can be presented to their Insurance broker.
TBM Owners will be able to continue the present relationship with their existing Insurance broker and/or participating underwriter. Once they have negotiated their annual aviation insurance coverage and premium, the TBMOPA no-claims renewal bonus or credit can be deducted from their premium at the end of their policy period.
Underwriters are offering a up to 10% premium reduction on the hull portion of the annual premium. Assuming a hull premium of $15,000, this could be a savings of $1,500 per year.
This program will go into effect following this year’s annual TBMOPA convention in Hot Springs, VA on September 9-12, 2010. Each underwriter will be competing with specific benefits and terms.
The TBMOPA program was negotiated with the Insurance Industry by Tom Chappell of Chappell, Smith & Associates, Inc. (CS&A Aviation Insurance Agency) with the goal of providing insurance benefits in return for increased pilot safety awareness.

A Few Short Weeks

There are only a few short weeks before the 7th TBMOPA Convention and Annual Meeting at The Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia. Time to make your reservations.
This was the home of "Slammin Sammy" Snead, 1912 - 2002. He was a professional golfer from 1934 to 1979. You can play golf and eat dinner in the very same places as Sam did. You can also shoot sporting clays, with skeet, trap, 5-stand and more.
But better yet, you can attend the safety seminars and earn credits for a possible rebate on your insurance by participating carriers. Contact you carrier for details. What you save in premiums could pay your registration. Remember you must attend to get the rebate and the rebate is offered only by participating carriers.
Ingalls Field is an easy in and out non-controlled field. The airspace is controlled by Washington Center which can be reached on the radio on the ground. It is a mountain top airport with good approaches.
The Homestead will remind you of the horse and buggie days with all the creature comforts of modern day. Come join us for afternoon tea in the "Great Room" or on the "Porch".
Come learn, relax, and have fun with us at The Homestead, September 8 - 12, 2010.
