Get a ferry permit, or just fly it?
"Danny Dot" wrote in message
... Ferry permits are for planes that are not currently certified, e.g. not been inspected with a year. At least this is my understanding. Not correct, it has nothing to do with the annual. A plane that is out of annual can get a ferry permit but being out of annual is not a prerequisite. Thanks for the information. I gather if the plane is in annual, but "damaged" the rules state the pilot in command makes a decision if the plane is air worthy???? The PIC is responsible for ensuring that the airplane is airworthy. However, anything with respect to the airplane that does not meet the standards under which the airplane was granted an airworthiness certificate is automatically not airworthy. Whether the PIC determines this is the case or not doesn't matter with respect to whether the aircraft is or is not airworthy. Note that technically speaking, the annual inspection is not a question of airworthiness. That is, as far as I can recall, the airworthiness certificate doesn't require annual inspections. Part 91 does (FAR 91.409, specifically). An airplane without a current annual inspection is not legal to fly, but it may technically still be "airworthy" (assuming it still meets the criteria attached to the airworthiness certificate). Basically, a ferry permit is a method that can be used to legally obtain a waiver to allow the operation of an airplane outside of the normal regulations. This applies to a wide variety of situations including (but not limited to) lack of a current annual inspection, failure to meet the airworthiness certificate criteria, or even simply to operate the aircraft outside of the regulations (for example, exceeding the design maximum gross weight).
