Craig Ketchum, the general-aviation underwriter for United States Specialty Insurance Company, looks at insurance requests from pilots wanting to step up to higher-performance aircraft on an almost daily basis. ,I transition relatively low-time pilots, and I look at them on a case-by-case basis,, says Ketchum. ,If they approach the training in a professional way, we can work things out.,

Ketchum says he pays the most attention to the individual,s attitude.If the customer takes a look at the insurance company,s requirements before being underwritten and responds with a ,I don,t have time to do all that training,, then Ketchum is likely to respond with ,Then we don,t have time to insure you., USSIC,s insurance requirements are determined by evaluating each individual pilot, his or her experience and what kind of airplane that pilot has been flying in the past.
