A random search of 14 sites that sell accident and health insurance over the
Internet, yielded 14 sites that excluded coverage when:

Exclusion:
1. Airtravel, when traveling as a pilot or crewmember.

In addition, very few life insurance policies include "flying as a pilot or
crewmember" in their coverage.

The good news is AOPA (www.aopa.org) and EAA (www.eaa.org) have insurance
programs that specifically include pilots and crewmembers.

There may be others, as well.

The cost of belonging to these organizations is very small compared to their
benifits. (if the SSA has accident or life insurance programs, I am not
aware of them.)

Good luck and welcome.

Do the standard medical insurance policies in the
USA cover medical problems arising from gliding or
powered flying? Cosidering the benefits of emmigrating
to the colonies! Would appreciate contact details for
the major health insurers.
What general insurance policies are available to cover
pilots against 3rd party injury whilst flying club
aircraft? Is this covered by membership to the local
club or the SSA?
