The DD Form 2400, officially the Civil Aircraft Certificate of Insurance, certifies that a civil aircraft operator maintains required third-party liability insurance for access to military aviation facilities. Governed by Department of Defense policy and 32 CFR Part 855, this certificate is a prerequisite for any approved civil aircraft operations at U.S. military airfields.
Any individual or organization operating a civil aircraft at a military aviation facility is required to complete and submit this form before access is granted. This applies across the civil aviation community, including:
This certificate requires complete documentation of the operator's liability insurance policy. Coverage specifics include:
An authorized insurance representative must certify the form by signing and dating it. The insurer waives any right of subrogation against the U.S. Government for losses covered under the listed policy. The insurer must provide at least 30 days advance written notice to the military installation if the policy is cancelled or materially modified before its stated expiration date.
Civil aircraft operators at military facilities often file this certificate alongside companion documents. The DD Form 2402 (Civil Aircraft Land Use and Indemnification Agreement) establishes the terms for using military airfield facilities and is typically required alongside this certificate. For initial insurance documentation, the AIC Aircraft Insurance Application covers the policy application process. Operators maintaining complete aircraft records also reference the Aircraft Weight and Balance Form as part of their compliance package.
