Aircraft aerial application liability insurance is specialist aviation cover for operators applying agricultural chemicals, fertilisers or other approved products from fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters or eligible drones. It addresses liability exposures arising from the activity, subject to the policy wording.
Chemical drift liability relates to allegations that an applied chemical moved beyond the intended target area and caused injury, contamination, crop damage, livestock loss or property damage. Available cover depends on chemicals, application methods and policy terms.
It may be relevant to agricultural aviation operators, crop-spraying businesses, farming or agri-business operators, aerial spreading contractors and eligible agricultural drone operators. CASA and state or territory requirements must be considered separately.
Some policies can respond to eligible third-party claims involving neighbouring crops, land, livestock, buildings or other property. Coverage is subject to declared activities, chemicals, limits, exclusions and insurer assessment.
We generally need details of the aircraft or drone, pilot qualifications, chemicals and products applied, application methods, target crops, operating areas, annual turnover, claims history, licences and desired liability limits.
