  • 11. "Insured aircraft" means the aircraft shown in Item 4 of the Data Page. Included are the materials which you have purchased to construct or reconstruct it. Also included is up to $15.00 per documented hour for the value of any labor. Not included are tools, jigs and any materials for which you do not have a receipt or other proof-of-purchase.
