Ince & Co Aviation Group publish Guide to General Aviation Claims Handling
Thursday 18 February, 2010
Published this month, ‘A guide to General Aviation claims handling’ is an insider’s guide to how General Aviation (GA) compensation and other claims are handled. As there is no comparable publication available, this is a handy reference book for new entrants to the GA claims area seeking to learn more about the claims handling process.
Packed with practical tips and advice, the book gives an overview of the GA insurance market, its policies, people and procedures, the technical basics of GA aircraft and flying them, and proceeds through to the notification of a loss and the necessary steps leading up to a claim. Flight planning, the weather, aerodromes and airspace, any one or more of which may have an impact on a claim, are all included.
The book is intended to be of practical use to pilots, aircraft operators, underwriters, brokers, lawyers and others interested in general aviation, who will benefit from the guidance provided on aviation insurance, claims, the role of the Air Accidents Investigation Branch and of coroners, the legal process and working with lawyers.
Author, Tim Scorer, Consultant at Ince & Co, who has flown GA aircraft for nearly 40 years, said: “The opportunity to produce this guide was given impetus by the perceived need for a handy reference which insurance claims managers and adjusters in the Market could hand out to their ‘new recruits’ in order to gain some basic knowledge as to what goes on after a GA loss is notified. I very much hope that readers will find the Guide both instructive and informative.”
Gillie Belsham, Partner and Head of Aviation at Ince & Co, commented: “We are proud to present this Guide to all those who are interested and concerned in GA claims. We intend that this first edition will be followed by further editions elaborating and developing on the existing areas covered, and we welcome any comments that might enrich further editions.”
