A pilot has a job that requires a tremendous amount of responsibility from him/her. Because of this, pilots licensing authorities uphold very strict standards that make it extremely difficult for pilots to receive and retain their licenses. Without their licenses, pilots can’t hold employment or financial stability, making loss of license insurance a necessity.

In any other industry, a person diagnosed with hypertension would remain at an acceptable health condition to continue working. They would certainly not be considered disabled. However, if a pilot’s blood pressure is not within the “acceptable” standard required by the pilots licensing authorities, then they may become suspended from flight or lose their license to fly altogether. Likewise, in a standard job, a person who suffers a minor injury would continue working, however, under the Federal Aviation’s Administrations (FAA) strict medical standards, after an injury there is a chance a pilot may no longer qualify to fly, therefore losing their license and ability to make an income.

Pilots face many risks that could affect their ability to retain or renew their medical certificate which is required to continue working as a pilot. This makes it imperative for pilots to find and carry disability insurance through loss of license insurance.
