Hi, follow-up to this off-line has been helpful, but insurers are still revolting on the item of *competition flying*. I have managed to get an offer of IP and TPD insurance for which general gliding is not excluded, but claims involving competition flying remain excluded.
So, I'm putting this question out there again, but with a slightly different emphasis. Has anyone out there got Income Protection and Temporary/Permanent Disability insurance but for which competition flying has NOT been excluded. If so, can you please contact me and let me know which companies are gliding friendly, including comp flying. Thanks!
