Carriers, aviation underwriters & managing general agents
See pilot proficiency before you schedule the aircraft
A current Remote Pilot Certificate tells you a pilot may fly. Zephyr shows whether they can. Underwriting teams use the simulator to watch insured operators build stick skill, rehearse the missions you rate, and leave a scored record of recurrent practice.
Proficiency you can underwrite
Applications already ask for a training program, a recurrent curriculum, and logged hours. Simulation is where that program becomes repeatable practice, with a result your loss-control and underwriting teams can review.
Hours that are actual practice
Pilots rehearse orientation, altitude, approaches, and aborts on modeled aircraft before those habits are tested over a job site, a tower, or a crowd.
Practice matched to the exposure
Inspection, survey, and public-safety scenarios let you see proficiency on the mission types that move a submission up or down the risk tier.
A record behind the certificate
Flight reports and scores give you something to put next to Part 107: who trained, on which profile, and how recently they did it again.
The same evidence you already trust
Auto, fleet, and aviation underwriting already separate a license from practiced skill. Zephyr is that practiced-skill record for the unmanned aircraft on the policy.
Personal auto
Approved driving schools
A license says a new driver may operate. An approved school and a defensive-driving completion are how personal auto has long shown that the driver also practiced. Zephyr is that completion for a remote pilot: assigned modules, a score, and a date.
Commercial fleet
Driver training programs
Trucking and fleet accounts are written against a curriculum, a trainer, and recurrent safety courses, not a commercial license alone. A drone fleet can sit in the same file: who trained, on which profile, and when they did it again.
Manned aviation
Simulator checks
Aviation policies already treat simulator time and recurrent checks as a reason to schedule a pilot. The unmanned aircraft on a hull and liability form can be held to that same standard, with the flight report as the session record.
From a certificate to a pilot you can schedule
Part 107 is the baseline. The exposure sits in the mission: towers and utilities, construction and survey, night work, and flights near people. Zephyr is where insured pilots rehearse those profiles before a hull or liability loss is on the policy.
Core handling
New and low-hour pilots build stable flight, spatial judgment, and camera discipline without spending a hull deductible on the lesson.
The rated mission
Wind, clutter, and vertical assets raise the same decisions your application asks about: hold, abort, or re-plan before the live flight.
Recurrent proof
Assign the same modules on a cycle so recurrent training is a completed record, not a sentence on the supplemental.
A loss-control partner, not another endorsement
If your company already credits a driving school, a fleet curriculum, or a manned simulator check, Zephyr is the unmanned version of that file. Tell us how you rate pilot experience today, and we will map simulator modules, scoring, and reporting onto that guideline.
Contact [email protected]What the simulator changes in the file
The same aircraft behavior, weather, and scoring follow every pilot, so a new certificate holder and a veteran contractor are measured on the work you actually insure.
One standard across insureds
The same scenarios and scoring apply to staff pilots, contractors, and fleet accounts, so experience is compared on the work rather than on a résumé line.
Recurrent, not one-time
Certificates renew every 24 months. Simulator assignments can sit on a shorter cycle and show that currency is still being practiced between renewals.
Usable in the underwriting file
Reports describe completed modules and results in language a broker can attach and an underwriter can read without learning the simulator first.
