Default Get a ferry permit, or just fly it?

In Canada the ferry permit must be signed by a mechanic who has
inspected the airplane and certified it "safe and fit for flight,"
which means it's safe enough but not in compliance with its type
certificate and therefore not airworthy. In most cases only essential
flight crew may be carried.


In the U.S. its hard to get a ferry permit for "elevator smashed,
reskinned in the field, structural repair done as well". Sometimes the
insurance company just wants a respected A&P to say it will fly and
then have a pilot get it out of the area, rather than abondon the plane
in the weeds. As mentioned by Newsps, there is no way he would have
been able to get a ferry permit for "used hammer to straighten prop".
