National Aviation Insurance Plan ka Description (Hinglish Mein)

Aviation Insurance ek bohot hi specialised aur complex type ka insurance hai jo aircraft owners, operators, aur aviation industry se jude business entities ko financial risks se bachata hai. Yeh policy aviation se jude accidents, damage, aur liabilities ke khilaf coverage deti hai.

Kyun Zaroori Hai Aviation Insurance?

1. High Value Assets: Aircrafts (vimaan) bohot mehenge hote hain. Ek chhota accident bhi lakhon-karoron ka nuksaan kar sakta hai. Is nuksaan ko cover karne ke liye insurance zaroori hai.

2. Badi Liability Risks: Plane crash ya accident hone par, sirf aircraft ka nuksaan nahi hota, balki passengers, crew, aur ground par third-party property aur logon ko bhi bade nuksaan (injuries/death) ho sakte hain. Iski legal liability ka bojh uthana bohot mushkil hota hai.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Kai deshon mein aur international agreements ke tahat, aircraft operate karne ke liye adequate insurance cover hona mandatory (zaruri) hota hai.

Aviation Insurance Ke Main Types aur Coverage (Mukhya Hissen):

Aviation insurance ko generally teen major categories mein baanta jaata hai, aur har category mein kai sub-types hote hain:

1. Hull Insurance (Aircraft ko hone waale Physical Damage ka Cover):

• Hull All Risks (In-Flight): Yeh sabse comprehensive (vistrit) cover hota hai. Ismein aircraft ko flight mein hote hue (jab woh hawa mein ho ya take-off/landing kar raha ho) accidental loss ya damage hone par coverage milti hai. Yeh total loss (poora nuksaan), partial damage, aur plane ke gayab ho jaane (disappearance) ko bhi cover karta hai. Ismein ek agreed value (sahmat moolya) fix kiya jaata hai, jis par loss hone par settlement hota hai.

• Ground Risk Hull Insurance (Motion): Yeh cover tab kaam aata hai jab aircraft zameen par ho aur move kar raha ho (jaise taxiing, ya push-back ke dauran). Runways aur taxiways par hone waale accidents, ya dusre aircraft se takkar ismein cover ho sakti hai.

• Ground Risk Hull Insurance (Non-Motion): Jab aircraft ground par parked ho (hawa mein ya move na kar raha ho), tab hone waale nuksaan ko cover karta hai. Jaise: Hangar fire, storm damage, chori (theft), ya kisi gaadi ka takra jana.

2. Aviation Liability Insurance (Teesre Paksh ko hone waale nuksaan ka Cover):

Yeh cover policyholder (aircraft owner/operator) ko legal liability se bachata hai jab unke aircraft se kisi teesre paksh ko nuksaan ho. Ismein teen main sub-categories hoti hain:

• Passenger Legal Liability (PLL): Agar plane mein baithe passengers ko injury ho, death ho, ya unka baggage kharab/gum ho jaaye, toh operator ki legal liability ismein cover hoti hai. Commercial airlines ke liye yeh bohot important hai aur iska limit ‘per seat’ ya ‘per incident’ basis par decide hota hai.

• Third Party Legal Liability (TPL): Ise Public Liability bhi kehte hain. Yeh cover tab kaam aata hai jab aircraft se kisi teesre paksh ko (jo plane mein nahi hai) ground par nuksaan ho. Jaise ki kisi property (ghar, car) ko damage ho, ya ground par kisi vyakti ko injury/death ho jaaye. Kai deshon mein TPL ka cover lena mandatory hai.

• Combined Single Limit (CSL): Kuch policies PLL aur TPL ko combine karke ek single limit provide karti hain. Isse claim settlement mein flexibility aati hai, khaas karke jab ek type ke nuksaan mein zyada paisa lag raha ho aur dusre mein kam.

3. Specialized Aviation Insurance Covers (Atyadhik Vishesh Coverage):

Aviation industry ki unique demands ko dekhte hue kuch aur special covers bhi offer kiye jaate hain:

• Aviation Personal Accident (Crew Member) Insurance: Yeh cover plane ke crew members (pilots, flight engineers, cabin crew) ko accident ke karan hone waale injury, disablement (apangta), ya death ke khilaf financial help deta hai. Yeh 24-hour basis par bhi ho sakta hai ya sirf flying duties ke dauran.

• Loss of License Insurance: Pilots aur engineers ko apne professional license ko valid rakhne ke liye regular medical tests paas karne padte hain. Agar medical grounds par unka license suspend ya revoke ho jaata hai, toh unhe hone waale income loss ko yeh policy cover karti hai. Isse unhe financial stability milti hai.

• Spares All Risks Insurance: Aircraft ke spare parts, tools, aur equipments ko ground par ya transport ke dauran hone waale loss ya damage ko cover karta hai. Yeh parts bhi bohot mehenge hote hain.

• War and Allied Perils Insurance: Standard aviation policies aam taur par war, terrorism, hijacking, strikes, riots, aur civil commotion jaise perils ko exclude (alag) rakhti hain. In perils ke khilaf cover lene ke liye ek alag se War Risk policy leni padti hai.

Aviation Insurance Ko Affect Karne Waale Factors (Khaas Baatein):

Insurance company premium decide karte samay aur coverage dete samay kuch cheezein dekhti hai:

• Type of Aircraft: Fixed-wing (plane) hai ya Rotor-wing (helicopter), uski age, model, aur value.

• Usage: Plane ka istemal kis kaam ke liye ho raha hai – Commercial Airline, General Aviation (personal ya corporate use), Cargo, ya training.

• Geographical Limits: Aircraft kin areas/routes par operate karega. Dangerous/High-risk zones mein premium badh jaata hai.

• Pilot and Crew Experience: Pilots ki training, experience, aur flying hours.

• Maintenance Record: Aircraft ka maintenance kitna accha hai.
