Default Thank you all!

On the needles, it was a very bad experience when i was about 10 at the dentist. Working construction, bleeding all over, smashing my finger, cutting things etc dose not bother me, it medical related needles I can't handle. It is incredible what the mind can and can't handle and how strong that is.
But thanks again.
If there are any other specific recommendations as to who you prefer, please pass them on.

Larry

Default Prudential

I have a life insurance policy with Prudential, covers me flying experimental, I do not recall that I had to take a medical exam. I have had it since about 2011 and is a fixed annual premium until I reach 75.

I have a current policy with AOPA but was recently shopping others - PICLIFE beat the AOPA premium by almost 20%.

I would try to get life insurance BEFORE you get your pilots license and start flying.

I am not sure if that is the question you are asking, but you COULD get lucky and get a policy that has no exclusion for PIC. However, if you are already a PIC, then you'll get rates that are 2.5 to 3X non PIC.

In my case, excellent health, etc. But, my policy is more than 3X what it would have been without PIC.

I have life insurance policy supplemented through work that's over $1M. I think I pay around $40 a month. Anyhow I called prior to starting the program and they'll pay if I get smashed up in a plane, even if I built the thing... my wife made me verify as well.

Default Life Insurance for pilots

Be cautious of the life insurance Pilot Insurance Center is offering through Prudential. In the midst of filling out an application, I tried finding reviews for PIC on-line, but couldn't find any, which I thought was rather strange since they've been in business for 20 years. So, I searched for reviews from customers who dealt with Prudential, and had no trouble finding them, most of them BAD. Read for yourself:
