Drone exam · Insurance

A contractor adds a new heavy drone to the fleet but assumes the existing certificate automatically covers it. What should happen before use?

Answer

Check whether the new aircraft, mass, serial number or fleet class, operation type, and territory are within the policy. Obtain an endorsement or updated evidence if required.

Explanation

Fleet changes can alter both regulatory requirements and insurer exposure. Coverage should be verified before the new aircraft is used, not after an incident.
