The Kodiak Owners and Pilots Society, 11 Aviation, and Travers Aviation Insurance launched an insurance incentive program offering owners and operators of Daher Kodiak turboprop singles a 10% hull premium dividend for investing in training, community participation, and safety.
Qualifying owners who join KOPS and complete additional training with 11 Aviation, along with required annual recurrent training, can receive a dividend equal to 10% of the physical damage coverage premium, excluding war risk, minus all physical damage claims.
The program begins with KOPS membership, providing access to fly-outs, safety seminars, owner roundtables, and gatherings. Members then complete training with 11 Aviation, led by Mark Brown, a Kodiak pilot with more than 9,000 hours in type. This includes initial type training and annual recurrent training, with specialized instruction in mountain operations, seaplane work, and off-airport landings available.
“Initial and recurrent training are the foundation. That is where safety lives,” said Brown, founder and president of 11 Aviation. “When training is paired with KOPS membership and the Travers insurance program, owners gain more than insurance perks. They gain a stronger operating environment.”
“The value of this program is in the combined effect,” said Chris Travers, partner at Travers Aviation Insurance. “KOPS membership, 11 Aviation training, and insurance coverage placed through the program create a safety-focused operating profile that participating carriers recognize as meaningfully different.”

Issues regarding financing of aircraft; aviation insurance; tax issues for aircraft operators; new companies and people in the aviation financing and insurance industries.
