USAIG Touts Cost-Saving Training Program
The insurer offers clients safety enhancement services, including some exclusively for rotorcraft operators.

Insurance provider USAIG has added new training courses available to its clients through Performance Vector, the insurer’s training and safety-enhancement service. An Aviation Maintenance Never Events webinar series has been added to the training offerings, targeting the six most costly errors in aviation maintenance.

New York-based USAIG continues to offer its Safety Bucks, available exclusively to rotorcraft operators, which provide credits to pilots and maintenance technicians for recurrent training from select training centers. More than $6 million in Safety Bucks credits have been returned to operators under the program, according to USAIG. The service also offers safety-enhancement programs for helicopter operators including human factors training for pilots and maintenance technicians, and the Z-Coach service for sleep-enhancing strategies and tools.

“As an insurer focused solely on aviation, we recognize the critical importance of regular recurrent training for helicopter pilots,” said David McKay, USAIG president and CEO.
