Aviation risk, measured.

The whole record of one aircraft.

Aviation risk intelligence for insurers and reinsurers. ALEX™ turns a tail number into the aircraft’s connected history and a modeled expected loss, beside its class.

A registration can change. An aircraft’s history doesn’t.

168 of 451

US business turbine aircraft registered today with a serious accident on record had it under a different registration or owner. The current owner’s loss runs don’t show it, and for 64 of them neither does a search on today’s number.

On the submission

  • The current registration and owner
  • Hours and experience, as declared
  • The applicant’s own loss history

From ALEX™

  • The registrations, owners and operators behind the current one
  • Whether it is flown for hire, and on whose certificate
  • The records tied to the airframe, each confirmed or inferred
  • How it actually operates, measured against its peers
  • A modeled expected loss, beside the class

Submitted as private, flown for hire.

An aircraft held in a single-aircraft LLC can read as private flying on the submission while it is listed on a charter certificate. ALEX™ shows the certificate, the date the aircraft joined it and how its hours compare with its peers, before the quote.

Expected loss, per aircraft.

ALEX™ models accident frequency and severity separately, then prices each aircraft in expectation: a range for the next twelve months, beside its class.

Two models, not one

How often and how much, modeled separately on the full US turbine record.

Tested on years it never saw

Proven out of time against the class rate a filed manual uses, before a figure reaches a desk.

A range, beside the class

Every figure is a range with the class figure next to it, so the desk sees at once where the aircraft sits.

Built for actuarial reliance

Full validation and documentation to ASOP No. 56, Modeling, for the actuaries who rely on it, provided under agreement.

Modeled expected hull loss, next 12 months

$14K to $31K a year

Priced above its class. The history under today’s registration alone would have put it inside it.

Sample figures, fictional aircraft N000SD.

Above its class, or below it.

The record that flags one aircraft clears another. An aircraft with a continuous history, use in line with its peers and nothing behind its registration sits below its class figure, and the brief shows the evidence: the case for a sharper rate on an account worth winning, at a number the rest of the market calls thin.

Sits above its class

  • Damage under an earlier registration
  • Hours well above its peers
  • Submitted as private, flown for hire

Sits below its class

  • One continuous history, nothing behind the registration
  • Use in line with its peers
  • Flown as declared
