In years past I've purchased third-party liability insurance for UL and light sport aircraft via the United States Ultralight Association. However, I'm not sure if they still offer insurance, guess you can contact them to find out:
https://www.usua.org
Avemco, Falcon, EAA, USUA, ASC, others.
Since you posted in the Ultralight forum I assume you want liability for your UL. The third-party policy I used via USUA was the only option I could find for an ultralight. The common aircraft insurance carriers wouldn't offer a policy for anything without an experimental or standard airworthiness certificate.Quote:

Correct, you have to be a USUA member. Just consider it part of the premium.Quote:

Has anybody found more current information? USUA site seems kinda broken; I sent a question about insurance offerings to the contact form, we'll see if they get back to me. :)
Ok, I heard back from USUA and they do still offer ultralight insurance, through a different underwriter (o2 Sports Insurance). As before you need to join the organization, pay modest dues, and register the vehicle to be insured with them.
