If you wish to use the aircraft for a purpose other than those listed (e.g. flying which requires a mountain flying accreditation) we may still be able to help. To request cover under your aviation insurance for any other use, please use our Special Covers facility.

Important - You should not use the aircraft for the required purpose unless cover has been confirmed and is in force.
