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.
