FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Palo Alto, CA - April 13, 2026 - SkyWatch Aviation Insurance, the leading provider of smart, flexible aviation insurance, and Four Forces, the flight school management software powering flight training operations across the United States, today announced a strategic partnership designed to close one of the biggest gaps in pilot training: easy, affordable access to renters insurance coverage.
Through the integration, Four Forces users can now request an instant quote for a non-owned aircraft renters insurance policy directly within the platform, then choose a coverage plan that fits how they actually fly - whether that means a single day, a week, a month, or a full year.
Why It Matters to Pilots
Renters insurance is one of the most overlooked yet most critical pieces of coverage for student and certificated pilots renting aircraft. Flight school checkouts, solo cross-countries, and stage checks all carry real liability exposure. Most pilots either don't have coverage at all, or carry an annual policy they're underusing.
This partnership removes that friction. Instead of leaving the Four Forces platform to shop for coverage or go without it entirely, pilots can get a quote and bind a policy on the spot, with terms that match their actual flying schedule.
A student pilot flying twice a month and a certificated pilot preparing for a checkride have very different coverage needs. Now both have options built for them.
For pilots who rent aircraft regularly, having coverage in place is protection against hull damage liability, bodily injury claims, and the kind of costs that can end a flying career before it starts. SkyWatch makes that protection instant and flexible, removing every excuse not to have it.
Four Forces was built to modernize flight training operations, making it easier for schools to manage scheduling, invoicing, maintenance, and student progression in one place. SkyWatch was built on the belief that aviation insurance should be as dynamic as the pilots who need it: instant, transparent, and priced for how you actually fly.
Both companies share the same conviction: the barriers between a pilot and the sky should be as few as possible. Whether it's a student working toward their private certificate or a certificated pilot adding hours in a rented Cessna, the tools they rely on should work together. This partnership is a direct expression of that shared mission.
The integration also addresses a gap that flight schools have long dealt with. Schools using Four Forces manage everything from dispatch to training records, but insurance has historically lived outside that ecosystem. By embedding renters insurance access directly into the platform, schools can now ensure their students are covered without adding friction to the dispatch process.
Voices Behind the Partnership
"Flight schools work hard to set students up for success, but too often the insurance side of things gets left until the last minute or skipped altogether. Partnering with SkyWatch means our users can get covered instantly, with plans that actually make sense for where they are in their training. That's the kind of frictionless experience we're building Four Forces to deliver."
Brett Hart, Co-Founder & CEO, Four Forces
"Non-owned renters insurance should be a standard part of every pilot's pre-flight checklist, not an afterthought. Four Forces has built something pilots genuinely rely on every day, and putting SkyWatch's coverage options inside that experience is exactly the kind of distribution that gets more pilots properly protected. We're proud to be their insurance partner."
