Get a ferry permit, or just fly it?
As long as there is no hypothetical structural damage, I'd have a
hypothetical pilot, unknown to you, hypothetically fly it to your A&P's shop and it would hypothetically show up on their ramp one morning all by itself. For all you know, they hypothetically taxied it all the way. (Is the wing tip with the nav light easily removeable? Could you pull the tip off and deliver it to your shop for repair then have a local A&P install it?) Jim "Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... If you've got a small problem with your plane, do you bother with a ferry permit, or do you just fly it if you think it's safe? Hypothetical: Say your (shared) plane has gotten some damage, say for instance a wingtip strobe/nav light assembly got scraped off against a hangar while it was being towed. Say that the wires are secured with duct tape and the person who did the damage flew it home like that. Also say that the company that does the work on your plane isn't at your home airport. Would you wait for a good VFR day and fly it over to that company, or would you go through all the hassle of getting a local mechanic to inspect it and apply for a ferry permit? -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ "I have a step-ladder.
