Aircraft Insurance: Is air testing covered?

Any pilot or examiner, employed or approved by the aviation authority having jurisdiction over the safe operation of the Aircraft, to undertake test, pilot examination or Certificate of Airworthiness flights, is automatically included as a permitted pilot under the aircraft insurance for the duration of such flights provided they hold the appropriate licence to fly the Aircraft.

In addition, any person qualified to maintain or repair the Aircraft is automatically included as a permitted pilot provided that the flight is in connection with the maintenance or repair of the aircraft and that they hold the appropriate licence to fly the Aircraft.
