My wife basically told me that I couldn't fly if I didn't have some life
insurance, so I went on a search. It's hard to find any life insurance
when you're 60, but I finally found a deal I could live with through
Pilot Insurance Center.

I went through that same exercise about a year ago and also ended up with
Pilot Insurance Center (PIC). They are good folk and know their business.

That said, just like any other large purchase, get three bids. The
difference in rates between my three bids was amazing! I didn't have any
particular problems finding three companies who were willing to quote me
insurance with an aviation rider.

Google Groups is probably your best bet.

Let Google be your friend!

Click on "Advanced Search"

Fill out the boxes with search criteria ("Life insurance")

Or (if you remember), on the normal google search page, enter

I've been wondering about this also.. I have life insurance through
allstate and when asked I was a pilot, I said yes, and asked if this
would effect my coverage or rate. He said "No, they only concerned if
you are a commercial pilot". I suppose I should call the life
insurance company and find out for myself.

That's extremely helpful--thanks, all!

i used a broker named Bob Deighton that specializes in life insurance
for pilots. Very knowledgeable - was able to get a good policy thru
AIG with the appropriate riders for competition soaring. They
understood the nuances..

If you are an AOPA member, be sure to check out their Insurance
Center. You can get an online quote from the carrier (IIRC Minnesota
Mutual). After that though, you do have to fill out a paper
application.
