American Champion Scout Aircraft
American Champion started producing the 8GCBC Scout aircraft in the 1970’s, but the initial design of the scout can be traced back to the 1920s. This long history has proven the Scout to be a reliable, safe, and fun airplane for aviators.
Modern American Champion Scout airplanes are supported by a vast network of aircraft mechanics. Technical support is available, and Certified Flight Instructors help keep the Scout dream alive. Parts availability is often a major concern for aviation insurance companies; American Champion Scout aircraft parts are available and generally easy to find. These factors help with American Champion Scout insurance rates and terms.
American Champion Scout airplanes are built with tough conventional landing gear. Scout Aviation Insurance can be easier and less expensive to obtain because it is such a solid and proven aircraft. The conventional landing gear helps with the STOHL capabilities of the airplane, adding to its versatility. Scout airplanes can be used as bush planes, training aircraft, personal travel aircraft, glider towing, banner towing, patrol aircraft, and more! It is important to make sure your American Champion Scout insurance policy covers the use, as aviation insurance policies don’t cover every use. Some uses are excluded. For example, if the Scout is insured as a personal pleasure and business-use aircraft, some uses such as banner towing would not be covered.
Insuring the hull of a Scout is important because in the event of a covered hull loss, hull insurance can help pay for damage to the aircraft covered. Hull values for Scout aircraft are different on an aircraft-by-aircraft basis. A modern Scout airplane with updated avionics and a new engine can be much more valuable than an older outdated aircraft with a high-time engine. More hull value generally costs more to insure.
Aviation liability insurance for a Scout is important, and in many cases will be required by airports. Scout aviation liability insurance can help pay for bodily injury and property damage in the event of a covered loss.
