Aircraft Delivery & Ferry Pilot Service

Congratulations on your new airplane purchase! There’s no doubt that you have many hours of fun and exciting flying ahead. Aircraft ownership offers unique rewards and challenges. Perhaps your first challenge as a new airplane owner is getting your airplane delivered from where you bought it to your home airport. Often, there are time constraints, training gaps, and other pressures that preclude you from moving the aircraft yourself. Relocating an airplane can be complex, requiring significant planning, logistics, and time away from your family, work, and other commitments. Hiring a ferry pilot may be the best solution. While hiring a ferry pilot to deliver your airplane sounds simple enough, but it can quickly turn into a headache.

You have just invested a lot of money into your new airplane. Would you trust just anyone to fly your new airplane home? If you’re like most airplane owners, chances are your answer is “NO!” It is imperative that the pilot you entrust with flying your airplane is qualified and current in the make and model, meets all insurance requirements, and is experienced with the logistical and maintenance complexities of relocating an aircraft.

The truth is, there are many inexperienced pilots out there that are simply trying to find ways to build free flight time. Often, these pilots don’t have a lot of hours, ratings or experience in different aircraft makes and models making them uninsurable, especially for many complex and high-performance aircraft. In addition, many pilots lack the training and judgment necessary to handle complex maintenance conditions that may arise. Airplanes are complex machines and unexpected maintenance setbacks could occur at anytime. You need a professional pilot that has the prowess and acumen to accurately diagnose and prioritize potential maintenance issues in real time to avoid unnecessary delays and wasted money.
