Which organization operates the most successful workers' compensation group program in general aviation?

• A. National Air Transportation Association
• B. Federal Aviation Administration
• C. Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
• D. Helicopter Association International

Answer: (A)

This item tests knowledge of which organization runs the largest workers’ compensation group program for general aviation. The National Air Transportation Association operates a workers’ compensation group rating plan specifically for aviation employers, and it has the broadest participation across GA businesses. Because the program pools many kinds of aviation employers—flight schools, maintenance shops, FBOs, charter operators—the resulting size and diversity improve risk pooling, stabilizing premiums and making coverage more accessible and affordable for individuals who couldn’t easily obtain it on their own. This industry-tailored approach, plus established claims handling and risk-management resources, is why it’s considered the most successful GA workers’ compensation group program. The other options aren’t workers’ compensation group programs: the FAA is a regulatory agency, not an insurer; AOPA and Helicopter Association International focus on advocacy and sector-specific interests rather than running a general GA workers’ comp pool.
