Avemco Holds A.M. Best A++ as More CFIs Choose NAFI Coverage

Avemco Insurance Company kept A.M. Best’s top financial-strength rating with a stable outlook as certified flight instructors increasingly compare coverage options tied to the National Association of Flight Instructors. The rating and the NAFI CFI program have become part of a broader push by instructors to weigh insurer stability, eligibility, and coverage terms.

Why it matters: - Certified flight instructors often look at an insurer’s financial strength before choosing coverage for teaching flights. - Avemco’s A.M. Best “A++” rating signals top-tier financial strength, which can matter to CFIs deciding where to place aircraft and liability coverage. - Demand for instructor coverage has grown as flight schools reopen slots and part-time CFIs build hours toward airline jobs.

What happened: - A.M. Best reaffirmed Avemco Insurance Company’s “A++” rating and kept the Frederick, Maryland insurer at the agency’s highest financial-strength grade with a stable outlook. - More certified flight instructors are turning to Avemco’s NAFI CFI program for instructor aircraft coverage. - Avemco’s relationship with the National Association of Flight Instructors is a recurring factor in CFI coverage discussions.

The details: - Avemco’s NAFI CFI program includes eligibility rules, liability limits, membership discounts and coverage terms for instructors. - A.M. Best evaluates balance sheet strength, operating performance, business profile and risk management when assigning ratings. - Avemco has held a top-tier rating across decades of economic cycles since the 1970s. - Avemco has insured planes and pilots since 1961.

Between the lines: - The reaffirmed rating gives Avemco a credibility signal at a time when instructors are more selective about insurance partners. - The NAFI connection appears to give the Avemco program added visibility among CFIs who want a familiar aviation-instructor pathway. - The steady rating also suggests Avemco’s long history remains part of its market appeal, not just its current product mix.

What's next: - CFIs considering coverage can review the NAFI CFI insurance program for eligibility and policy terms. - Prospective customers can contact Avemco through the company’s website for quotes and policy details. - Instructor coverage demand may stay elevated if flight schools keep expanding openings and CFIs continue building hours for airline careers.

The bottom line: - Avemco’s top A.M. Best rating and NAFI-linked CFI program are working together to keep the insurer in the mix as instructors shop for aircraft coverage.
