American Champion Decathlon Aircraft Insurance

The American Champion 8KCAB Decathlon is based on modified and strengthened previous aircraft dating all the way back to the Aeronca C-2 in the 1920s.  The Decathlon is used for training and aerobatic flying but most importantly flown for fun. The Decathlon is known as a docile aircraft.  The reliable power plant and design of the aircraft make the Decathlon insurable for pilots ranging from airline pilots to students.  Tandem seating and center-stick controls make the aircraft an ideal aircraft for Student Pilot training.  The conventional gear configuration makes the Decathlon a great aircraft for pilots training for tail wheel endorsements too.  Decathlon aviation insurance is available for a wide range of pilots from various airplane insurance companies.  Decathlon insurance policies will typically include pilot wording.  Pilots must meet the pilot requirements of the insurance policy. 

Decathlon aircraft liability insurance is generally considered the most important part of the aircraft insurance policy.  Aircraft liability insurance can help the insured in the event of a covered bodily injury or property damage claim.  The Decathlon is one of the safest aerobatic aircraft in the world.  Decathlon aircraft liability insurance rates are some of the most reasonable in the industry.

American Champion Decathlon hull insurance is also reasonably priced.  Decathlon hull insurance can help with repairs to the aircraft or help pay for aircraft replacement in the event of a covered total loss.  The American Champion Decathlon is a solid and rugged aircraft.  Decathlon hull insurance is generally easy to obtain and inexpensive when compared to other similar aircraft.

Aviation insurance companies use several factors when calculating hull and liability aircraft insurance cost.  The most important underwriting factor is the aircraft itself.  The American Champion Decathlon has been in production for many years.  Parts for the aircraft are generally available, and the aircraft is easy to repair.  Though the Decathlon is a capable aerobatic aircraft, it is also a solid, safe and docile airplane to fly.  Decathlon insurance cost will also be based on the caliber of pilot flying the aircraft.  The Decathlon is an outstanding training aircraft and a great airplane for Student pilot training.  In most cases the aviation insurance cost to insure a Student pilot or a pilot with little or no tail wheel experience can be more expensive, but is typically available at a reasonable rate.  Decathlon insurance for experienced pilots with conventional gear experience will generally cost less.

American Champion Decathlon deductible options can be low compared to other aircraft.  In many cases aviation insurance companies can offer $0 deductible insurance policies or low deductible options for the Decathlon.  It is a proven aircraft, so insurance companies compete heavily for the business.  In many cases the insurance companies will offer a $0 deductible or low-deductible policy to help earn the business.

It is important to make sure your Decathlon policy covers your use of the aircraft.  As an example, if you are flying your Decathlon in airshows or for hire, it is important to make sure your aviation insurance policy covers the use accordingly.

Training requirements for the American Champion Decathlon are usually different between insurance companies.  Most insurance companies will require a tail wheel endorsement and perhaps some additional time with a Certified Flight Instructor prior to solo flight.  Insurance training requirements for Decathlon pilots can be different and are assigned on a case-by-case basis by the insurance company.
