Save 5% on Commercial Drone Insurance With SkyWatch + RPAS WILCO
Paid RPAS WILCO subscribers now save 5% on SkyWatch commercial drone insurance through FlySafe Commercial. Here's what's covered, who qualifies, and how to redeem.
The deal in one paragraph
Paid RPAS WILCO subscribers — that’s anyone on the Pro or Enterprise plan — now save 5% on commercial drone insurance through SkyWatch, the underwriter behind FlySafe Commercial. The discount is automatic at checkout, applies to both on-demand (per-flight) and annual policies, and stacks on top of SkyWatch’s already-competitive rates for Canadian commercial operators.
If you’ve been treating insurance as something that lives outside your operations stack, this is a chance to bring it in.
Why SkyWatch
SkyWatch is one of the largest dedicated drone insurance underwriters in North America. Their model is built around the modern drone operator — short-term, project-based commercial work as well as full-year fleet operations — with policy issuance measured in minutes rather than weeks. They support liability coverage, hull coverage, payload coverage, and the specific endorsements that BVLOS, night ops, and specialized inspection work require.
We chose SkyWatch as the FlySafe Commercial underwriter for the same reason most of the operators on our platform end up choosing them: the coverage is real, the issuance is fast, and the integration with how drone work actually happens is unusually clean.
Who qualifies for the 5% discount
You qualify automatically if your RPAS WILCO account is on:
- Pro plan ($149/month) — full compliance toolkit for commercial pilots
- Enterprise plan ($299/month base) — multi-pilot operations with team management
The discount is verified through your account at the time you generate a quote on the FlySafe Commercial page. It applies to both:
- On-demand coverage — per-flight policies, ideal for occasional commercial work or specific high-value projects
- Annual policies — for operators with consistent commercial activity throughout the year
Operators on the Starter (free) plan don’t qualify for the discount but can still purchase commercial coverage through the same SkyWatch portal at standard rates.
What FlySafe Commercial actually covers
Through SkyWatch, you can build a commercial drone policy that includes:
- Liability coverage — third-party bodily injury and property damage, with limits typically ranging from $500K to $10M+
- Hull coverage — physical damage to the drone itself, including theft and accident
- Payload coverage — sensors, cameras, and specialized equipment
- Endorsements — BVLOS, night operations, operations near people, and other specialized activity
- Instant certificate of insurance — issued in minutes, accepted by most clients and venues
The most common need we see at RPAS WILCO is the certificate of insurance. A client asks for proof, and you need it today. SkyWatch’s instant issuance means a $0-to-certificate path measured in minutes, not the days that traditional aviation insurance has historically required.
How to redeem
Three steps:
- Make sure you’re on Pro or Enterprise — if you’re on Starter, upgrade here before generating your quote
- Visit FlySafe Commercial — the insurance page launches the SkyWatch quote flow with your discount pre-applied
- Get a quote, customize coverage, issue the certificate — typical end-to-end is under 10 minutes for straightforward policies
If you’re already a SkyWatch policyholder considering switching to RPAS WILCO, contact SkyWatch directly about applying the discount to your renewal.
Why we built this partnership
Insurance is one of the parts of running a commercial drone operation that most operators dread — and that gets the least integration love from the rest of the industry. We wanted FlySafe to feel like part of the platform, not an afterthought.
The 5% RPAS WILCO discount is one expression of that. The deeper expression is the Airport Safety Management network, where coordinated airport partnerships make insured commercial drone operations safer, more predictable, and (over time) more attractive to underwriters. Better data, lower risk, lower premiums — that’s the long arc.
For now, if you’re paying for RPAS WILCO Pro or Enterprise and you fly commercially: you’ve earned 5% off your next policy. Get the quote.
