A.
If the drone pilot is an employee of yours and is not a hired third party, your insurer will provide the insurance information required. If you hired them for this demonstration they will need to provide Diversified with the insurance information. The ACORD form illustrates the $1M in Aviation Operator’s insurance required and how Diversified should be named as an additional insured. If Aviation Operations are not included in your General Liability coverage, the pilot’s insurance broker should be given the form and asked to provide similar information about the pilot’s policy.
Please note:
>Pilot information, General Liability Insurance Form, and Pilot/Aviation Certification of Insurance are due by July 26, 2024.
>Aviation insurance MUST be on the company that employs the Pilot and MUST specifically name the pilot as an individual covered by the policy
