As this magazine noted earlier (Nov. 27, 2000), Progressive Corp. had a pilot insurance program using this technology.
This pilot insurance scheme initially covers 200 teff-producing farmers in the Kola Tenben districts of Northern Ethiopia (Brans et al. 2010; OA 2010).
The examples from these three countries also represent the biggest initial efforts in terms of testing innovative pilot insurance products in sub-Saharan Africa.8 Each case looks into the evidence, current debates and insights relevant for scaling up innovations and enhancing the demand for weather index insurance products.
While most pilots' insurance covers all their passengers, people are probably less worried about getting paid if there's a crash as they are about surviving.
Almost half of airlines' costsincluding the price of planes, ground crews, pilots, insurance, airport fees, maintenancecomes from the hydrocarbons needed to keep these sleek, purring machines aloft.
For every hour the plane is in the air, the one-eighth owner also pays $1,673 in operating costs, plus $10,196 a month in management fees, to cover pilots, insurance, hangar space, in-flight meals and so on.

One of Raytheon Corp.'s popular Hawker 800XP business jets, which can carry eight passengers up to 4,800 kilometers, goes for around $12.4 million fully equipped (plus taxes) and costs around $1.3 million a year to operate after factoring in pilots, insurance, maintenance, hangar space and all the other things that suck money from airplane owners' pockets.
Patients are assigned to a pilot provider only and as long as they (1) take up health insurance from the pilot insurer and (2) are registered with one of its primary care physicians (PCPs).
That may be a great deal for a casual operator, but it's worth noting that pilot's insurance for drones typically runs between $600 and $800 per year, according to the website UAV Coach.
The insurance pilot project, he said, offers "a ray of hope".
