As an AOPA Member you have access to affordable group rates, which are typically lower than other pilots can get with individual plans. Plus, you're covered anywhere, 24/7. The benefits cover general aviation pilots at all levels of flying, even student pilots, during aviation-related activities and more.
You’re guaranteed this coverage without a physical. Rates may vary by state.
It makes sense to add extra coverage for accidental deaths or injuries. The AOPA Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance plan pays benefits to cover the unique costs associated with covered accidents—in addition to any coverage you already have. And AD&D coverage is affordable—you can add up to $300,000 of coverage for just pennies a day.
AD&D coverage is affordable, so many AOPA members, under age 70, get the maximum coverage available—$300,000.
No. You and your eligible family members are guaranteed coverage—regardless of your level of flying experience, professional, lifestyle or travel plans.
The AOPA Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Plan is offered to you with no physical exam or health questions. You and your family are guaranteed coverage regardless of your health as long as you are an AOPA Member under the age of 75.
24-hour coverage with benefits up to $300,000 – You’re guaranteed $300,000 of benefits as an AOPA Member under age 70, and $50,000 of benefits as an AOPA Member between the ages of 70 and 75, with no physical exam or health questions.
Pays up to $15,000 of disability benefits – If you become totally and permanently disabled within 180 days of a covered accident, you collect up to $15,000 (or 5% of your full benefit amount). You must submit proof of your disability and your disability must continue to be total and permanent, as defined in the certificate.
