SAA Insurance
The Scottish Aeromodellers Association provides insurance as part of your membership.
Insurance 2020
We are happy to report that we have gained cover and it is in place for everyone in the SAA to be insured for 2020. We would like to bring to your attention the following statement from our insurance providers regarding the outline requirements for your insurance cover.
Quick Start Guide: What about insurance cover ?
“Members should be aware that most insurance policies are limited to cover ‘lawful activities’ and therefore the best way to ensure certainty of cover is to comply with the CAA’s registration & competency requirements if you operate any unmanned aircraft for which they are a legal requirement. It is also important to note that any legal costs and/or punitive financial sanctions incurred by an individual member under criminal law as a result of non-compliance will be outside the scope of cover”.
The BMFA’s affiliated clubs will remain fully protected by the BMFA’s insurance in the event of a claim made against them, should individual members be found to be non-compliant.
We are also reminded that our SAA insurance cover relies upon the fact that members are “undertaking model flying activities under the auspice (support or approval), control or direction of the SAA” this involves following the SAA Safety Achievement Scheme.
