The news comes as a pleasant surprise to both recreational and commercial drone operators. It shows that the UAS ecosystem still has room for innovation.<\/p>\n

The nine brokers are Falcon Insurance, Aviation Marine, Fields Group, InsureMyDrone (MFE Insurance), Harpenau Insurance, Aerial Pak (Hill & Usher), Plimsoll Specialty, Sky Smith and Skyvuze.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The insurance program is underwritten by Starr Insurance Companies<\/a>, one of the biggest aviation insurers in America. It\u2019s also conveniently available through the Android and iOS apps, as well as the SkyWatch Web portal.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"SkywatchAI<\/p>\n

SkyWatch.AI<\/a> markets itself as an on-demand drone insurance solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As opposed to traditional insurance that requires lots of paperwork and months of commitment, Skywatch.AI\u2019s coverage can last mere hours.<\/p>\n

You only pay for the time you spend flying the drone.<\/p>\n

Once downloaded, signing up or logging into your skywatch account is easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the home screen, there\u2019s a blue circle over the map that represents the flight area. Its radius ranges from \u215b to \u00bd a mile, with an option for drawing more precise flight zones.<\/p>\n

The map also indicates high-risk zones such as major roads, schools, hospitals, and public utilities. The more you navigate towards these restricted zones, the higher your hourly payment is going to be.<\/p>\n


\n

Cost of insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Real<\/p>\n

To purchase drone insurance, you must set a flight zone.<\/strong> If you fly your UAV in the evening, you\u2019ll most likely receive a prompt informing you of higher nighttime charges.<\/p>\n

This is only logical because sight is more impaired during darkness, which increases the chances of accidents happening.<\/p>\n

The next option is choosing your liability limit, which ranges from $500,000 to $10 million.<\/p>\n

Afterward, choose the number of hours your drone is going to be airborne. These two determine the final amount you pay in insurance charges. The base cost ranges from $10 to $25 per hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once set, agree to the terms and conditions and your insurance policy will be ready for purchase. You\u2019ll also receive an email confirming the same.<\/p>\n

For those who need long term insurance coverage, SkyWatch.AI also offers monthly plans<\/a>. Unlike the hourly plans, the longer plans include full coverage.<\/p>\n

This means you\u2019ll be compensated for accidental drone damage.<\/p>\n
