Insurance Information
The Columbia aircraft, a safety record that is the envy of General
Aviation...bar none.
We are very proud of that fact, and we work hard to reinforce this information
with key insurance brokers and executives. We also work hard to make
you the best insurance risk in the industry!
When you take delivery of a new Columbia, you will receive several days of
transition training from the best flight instructors around. The curriculum
is precise, designed specifically for our airplanes, and will make you comfortable
and competent with your new airplane and its capabilities. Insurance
companies like that, and so do we.
Once you have decided to purchase a new Columbia 350 or 400 you will want to
obtain a competitive insurance quotation. Click

From an insurance perspective, the Columbia aircraft are fairly new on
the market so it is very important that your request for an insurance
quote be specific and include information that we have found very beneficial
in keeping your premium low. Frankly, some insurance companies group
the Columbia with aircraft that have safety records that don't match
up to that of our aircraft...other more enlightened companies offer rates
that recognize the work we have done to make the airplane and its pilot
safer than historical statistics. We think it is in your best interest
for you to let us guide you through your first insurance inquiry.
Talk to your Columbia Sales Professional about insurance before you call any
broker or agency. Let him/her assess your experience level and recommend
an insurance path to a company that is experienced with insuring Columbia drivers. Pilots
have obtained insurance on Columbia's while still training for their private
licenses, so we are confident that you can get insurance on the airplane...we
just want to be sure that you get the most competitive quote from an insurance
company who provides a standard of service that Columbia owners, obviously
a discerning group, deserve.
