Pilots are one of the highest risk professions in terms of insurance, and helicopter pilots are the highest risk of the pilots.

I payed huge premiums when covered but I was covered.
Was no drama. Doc requirement is that crew is also covered for injury or death. I did it for a number of years and should have gone off shore to be fair for a better policy.

In most cases ACC should have a bit of life cover included for accidental death too. Not many people know about that benefit, its not huge but it is somthing.
