AFS does not sell insurance or provide legal advice.
AFS reviews ferry-related insurance and documentation requirements for mission feasibility. Insurance coverage decisions, policy changes, legal interpretations, and airworthiness determinations remain with the appropriate owner, broker, carrier, mechanic, inspector, or authority.
Important Service Boundary
AFS does not provide passenger transportation, public charter, air taxi, scheduled service, common carriage, cargo carriage, airline service, travel booking, cargo shipping, flight school services, insurance brokerage, legal services, maintenance services, maintenance signoffs, or airworthiness approvals.
