  • Lodging, transportation, and food for the pilot.​ This includes transportation to the start point of the ferry flight unless arranged otherwise.

  • Any work or time necessary for me to address maintenance issues that occur enroute.
     

• What is not included in the ferry cost?

  • Repair of maintenance issues that occur enroute and have to be repaired before completion of the ferry flight.

  • Airspace fees (e.g., NavCanada fees,) that are billed after the flight.​​​
     

• How is insurance typically handled for ferry flights?​​

  • The owner typically has the ferry pilot added to his policy under an open pilot provision or as a temporary named pilot. ​

  • This will be discussed during planning phase of a ferry flight, and proof of insurance will be required prior to departure.
     

• What happens if weather prevents you from delivering the aircraft on time?

  • My mission is to deliver your aircraft safely to the agreed upon location. Maximum effort will be made ​to deliver it on time without sacrificing safety, but that may mean a delay if weather stands in the way.
     

• What happens if there are maintenance issues during the ferry flight?

  • I'll land the plane as soon as practicable, barring a true emergency.

  • The owner will be contacted immediately and advised of the issue.

  • If there is a way to legally and safely continue the flight with the issue (e.g., MEL, VFR flight only, day flight only, or special flight permit,) we will find a way and attempt to do that with the owner's approval.

  • If the issue prevents safe or legal flight, I'll work with the owner to determine the best course of action (call in a preferred mechanic, make arrangements with a local mechanic at the plane's current location, etc.)
     

• Can you import/export an aircraft as well as ferry it?

  • I cannot. I ferry aircraft across borders, but import/export of the aircraft is the responsibility of the owner and a customs broker.​
     

• What types of payment do you accept?

  • Cash, cashier's check, Venmo, Paypal, and Cashapp are all accepted.
