Can you fly without aviation insurance and what happens if you do? ✈️

In this episode of the Aviation Mentors Podcast, Brandon and Carson sit down with Tomer Kashi, CEO and co-founder of Skywatch, and Stephanie Kleeberg, head of sales and customer service, to break down everything pilots need to know about aviation insurance. They discuss:

• What renters insurance actually covers and why every student pilot needs it before their first solo
• How flight school fleet policies work and why schools require students and CFIs to carry their own coverage
• The difference between renter policies, CFI policies, and aircraft owner insurance
• How hours, make and model experience, and certificates directly affect your premium
• Why you no longer need to wait weeks for a policy and how to get covered same day
• What aircraft owner insurance covers, from hail and hangar rash to in-flight liability
• The difference between in-motion, not-in-motion, and storage-only coverage explained

🚀 Whether you're a student pilot waiting on your first solo, a CFI looking for the right coverage, or an aircraft owner wanting to protect your investment, this episode gives you a clear and practical breakdown of aviation insurance from two industry experts.
