For lots of reasons that only underwriters will ever know, for the last few years, I have carried a life insurance policy that excluded general aviation related death, and an accidental death policy through Petersen that ONLY covered GA related death. As stupid as this sounds, it was substantially less expensive than the same coverage under just the life policy.
Petersen has now informed me that the policy I've carried will no longer be offered in Colorado. So, after January 18, I can die in any conceivable way, EXCEPT as the pilot at the controls of a GA airplane, and my family is covered.
Is anyone aware of a similar accidental death policy that covers general aviation that I might look into? My longtime "insurance guy" is kinda throwing up his hands. Petersen was his "magic found after turning over rocks" and he's got no more rocks left to turn over.
