Very true. You need to sit down with your carrier and find out. My employers insurance excludes experimental aviation however I have been a customer of Allstate for almost 30 years and I have a very healthy policy with them that covers me in any situation. My agent told me I could jump out of a plane with no parachute on and I would be covered. The rider for this type of coverage is a lot less than you think it would be, especially if your carrier also does your cars and homeowners.

Most cover a commercial flight as a paying passenger of scheduled flights with an air carrier. Almost all that I have seen that are "standard" employment or personal offerings have exclusions for: 1) flights as pilot in command or passenger of any small aircraft (under 12,500# takeoff weight), unscheduled flights, or gliders; 2) skydiving; 3) any form or type of flight instruction. AOPA and EAA have companies that they are endorsing that make policies available that DO cover in the case of accidents in General Aviation airplanes. Some still have exclusions if flying in an experimental aircraft. Mine covers me while flying any plane, PIC or as instructor, but does not cover me while flying my KR2. Just some thoughts...
