RPAS Wilco Insurance Program

[davidk]

Does anyone know any specifics about the RPAS Wilco Insurance Program?  Here is their webpage RPAS Wilco Insurance

It costs $299 per calendar year.  I believe this includes a MAAC Membership ($95) and the MAAC Off-Site Flyers Program ($50).  For a total, that's $145 included in the $299.

I'm trying to see what else this insurance program gives you to make up the $154.  MAAC includes the RPAS Wilco App, so it's not that.

I'm starting to find this a bit confusing with MAAC offering the Off-Site Flyers Program for $50 and then RPAS Wilco offering insurance in partnership with MAAC for $299.

Any thoughts?

I received this reply from RPAS Wilco:

In short, RPAS Wilco Pro for MAAC members is restricted to RC model use only. Our regular Pro subscription is $149/year, so the MAAC member version is intentionally limited. However, since you joined MAAC before July 1, 2025, you're grandfathered in - meaning you get full RPAS Wilco Pro access for drones as a show of goodwill for early support from MAAC.
You don't need to worry about the $299 package - that's only for new drone users coming in through our platform. The additional cost is for us powering the full solution and covering all costs to deliver and scale this offering to the broader drone community.

As usual, answers leave me with more questions but I don't think it's worth time or effort looking into further.  I'm guessing that this program give a user access to RPAS Wilco Pro in full??  But that's not really clear, so I'm still not really sure what the $154 is for other than paying for the operation of the program.
