Advisor calls CPS Advantage for a Second Underwriting Opinion on a new client who needs $5M term life insurance to protect his young family. He is learning to fly as a private pilot, having completed 40-50 hours of flight. The Advisor’s primary insurer requires a $3.00 flat extra per $1,000 of insurance to cover the aviation risk = $15,000 additional annual premium. Are there better alternatives with another highly rated life insurer?
