  • 11. "Insured aircraft" means the aircraft shown in Item 4 of the Data Page. Included are the materials which you have purchased to construct or reconstruct it. Also included is up to $15.00 per documented hour for the value of any labor. Not included are tools, jigs and any materials for which you do not have a receipt or other proof-of-purchase.

    • When your insured aircraft is in motion (This supersedes any provision in your Policy which may imply that it can be used in flight or in motion);
    • Which occurs prior to the delivery of your insured aircraft to you;
    • After your insured aircraft has received its final inspection by the FAA for the purpose of the issuance of its airworthiness certificate or, if your insured aircraft has a Standard airworthiness certificate, once it has been certified for flight and issued an annual (periodic) inspection (you must apply for, and be issued, a different Policy to provide coverage at that time).
