Third Party Insurance

[Liam_89]

Hello,
Me and a friend both have a P3P,
And we were wondering if there's any sort of third party or liability insurance that we could take out ?
Ideally to be covered with insurance incase of any mishap with the phantoms,
We just thought that owning the phantoms that we should be covered with a third party insurance,
As we are in the uk I really would only appreciate info regarding this from the uk,
Can anybody advise on the best insurance to take out ?
Thanks in advance

In my view, essential, try fpvuk, it does not cost much, personally I would not fly without 3rd party cover.

Is this what you have jay ?
So if the aircraft drops from the sky and harms any person or property
This will cover it ?

Do not hold me to this, but, that is my interpretation. DYOR.
I also carry the certificate in my flight case, yes, I am a bit paranoid about being challenged by a member of the public.
However, all my encounters with the public have been extremely positive.

I use the BFMA (British Model Flying Association) for my insurance and I too would never fly without 3rd party insurance.

The important thing to note about insurance from either the BMFA or FPVUK, is that you are only covered if you are adhering to CAA regulations. If you're flying illegally - (for instance, over a built up area) - and you crash, causing damage, you won't be covered.

Yes indeed,thanks, insurance is not meant to cover for the bad behavior of a few, mind you those with bad behavior problems usually do not bother with insurance anyway.

Well we bend them a bit, but only slightly, well not me of course.

The best insurance is to fly within the law. Do not spend on insurance.

Does the third party insurance from fpv uk Renew itself every time ?
Or is it a one off payment and when it expires you decide if you want to buy it again
What I'm trying to say is
After the 6 months of £7.95, does it auto renew ?

I got a reminder after the first year, and then renewed.
