Howdy all, I have seen a few threads here and there discussing insurance for commercial ops. Apparently the FAA will have some looser regulations soon [1], and I'm looking into what all it would take to bootstrap a small commercial op if/when that happens.

I've seen a few threads about a couple of companies that are already providing insurance... is RCAPA + Aerialpak still the only game in town?

Huerta also promised that rules allowing the operation of drones under 55 pounds without a pilot's license—currently a requirement for all uncrewed aircraft beyond hobbyist-size drones—would be finalized by "late spring."

I am currently insured through AIG. They have a policy that is a modification of a commercial scale aviator policy. Even asks about your FAA ratings, aircraft, hours, etc.
