As an AOPA Member you have access to cost effective group rates, which are typically lower than other pilots can get with individual plans. Plus, you're covered anywhere, 24/7. The benefits cover general aviation pilots at all levels of flying, even student pilots, during aviation-related activities and more.
You’re guaranteed this coverage without a physical. Rates may vary by state.
(AOPA Member Only Benefit)
If an insured person is involved in an automobile accident in which he/she was properly wearing a seatbelt, and dies within 365 days as a result of that accident, the beneficiary can receive an additional amount which is the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of the Principal Sum payable. Please refer to the Certificate of Insurance for certain limitations and conditions on this benefit.
If both the insured member and spouse die within one year of same or separate accidents that occurred within the same 24-hour period, in addition to the benefit payable for loss of life for each, the insured spouse benefit amount for loss of life will be increased to 100% of the member's Principal Sum if the member and spouse are survived by one or more eligible children and the combined member and spouse Principal Sums do not exceed $300,000.
If the Seat Belt Benefit is payable, MetLife will pay an additional benefit if the insured person was positioned in a seat protected by properly functioning, original, factory-installed airbag system that inflates on impact when the accident occurred. The benefit amount is the lesser of the amount of the Principal Sum or $15,000.

The AOPA Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance plan pays benefits to cover the unique costs associated with covered accidents—in addition to any coverage you already have. And AD&D coverage may be more affordable than you think—you can add up to $300,000 of coverage for just pennies a day.
AD&D coverage is cost effective, so many AOPA members, under age 70, get the maximum coverage available—$300,000.
