1 Protection for commercial pilots Loss of licence Pilot income protection Over 30 years experience providing independent financial planning advice to expatriates and people working abroad

2 Financial security while you re not flying If you re prohibited from flying because of medical reasons the likely loss of income can put enormous pressure on you and your loved ones. Strict health criteria for commercial pilots may prevent you from returning to work for a considerable length of time. This only adds to the difficulty of paying your mortgage, your children s education costs, and other financial commitments - especially if your income is vastly reduced. In response to feedback from our existing pilot clientele we offer a unique suite of products to give you financial security and peace of mind in the event you are unable to fly due to accident or illness. With two plans to choose from you can include optional extra coverage if you wish. Who s eligible? All commercial pilots of any nationality with any airline who hold a current commercial pilot s licence. Use our cover to top-up your airline coverage or if you are self-employed. 2

3 Two plans to choose from To provide you with a vital source of income if you are unable to fly for qualifying medical reasons we offer two plans: loss of licence and pilot income protection. You can add optional extra coverage to either plan if you wish, depending on your specific needs. Choose the core cover you prefer Loss of Licence Insurance Pilot income protection Temporary and permanent loss of licence cover provides monthly benefits if your licence is suspended temporarily for medical reasons and a lump sum payment if you lose your licence to fly permanently. Full benefits up to age 60 with no reduction in cover at age 55 and no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Our Loss of Licence plan responds upon the suspension of your commerical pilot s licence for health reasons. Benefits commence upon completion of the deferred period. Temporary and permanent total disability cover provides monthly benefits if you are unable to work because of an accident or an illness and a lump sum payment if you are permanently unable to fly and there is no prospect of an improvement in your condition. Benefits are payable if the accident or illness occurs at work or outside of work and regardless of your ability to carry out any other occupation in the aviation or any other field. Our Pilots Income Protection plan responds upon diagnosis of an illness or injury which prevents you from flying. Benefits commence upon completion of the deferred period. Add optional extra cover if you wish Short-term disability Provides disability benefit after just 14 days to bridge the income gap between being unable to work and receiving your temporary loss of licence or temporary total disability benefit depending on which plan you are on. Ideal for: Newly qualified pilots with training loan repayments to make. Long-term disability Provides a disability benefit of maximum 60% of your salary for 20 years, or up to age 60, once your loss of licence cover ends. 3

7 What pilots say about the products Get a quote Click here to get an instant quote - without obligation Loss of Licence No exclusions for pre-existing conditions is a real plus. My policy doesn t include this. It s good to see full cover for mental illness in the policy I like the optional long-term disability cover if you want to extend the period you are covered for. Being able to pay my premium on a monthly basis is a great relief and makes budgeting easier. Income protection Knowing that I can claim whether I have an accident at work or outside of work is good to know. It s good to see own occupation stated in the cover. I know a pilot who couldn t claim because of clauses relating to this. As a newly qualified pilot with a loan to repay this gives me peace of mind. Claims service Experienced professionals will support you if you need to make a claim and help you with the paperwork. The information in this brochure is a brief description of the important features of the plans. Please read the full terms and conditions for the policies which include any exclusions and limitations. 7
