Am I allowed to fly my plane to a near by airport in order to complete
the aircraft annual even if it is a few days after annual due date? In other words annual was done on 4/29/07 and now we are into May. What do I need to do to get permission and how long can this extension be. Would this be different than a "Ferry Flight" limited to 10hrs. Or......Thanks Larry |

One could, if one were daring, just do the flight.
Otherwise, contact the local FSDO to get a ferry permit. -- ------------------------------- Travis Lake N3094P PWK "Larry" wrote in message ...

It is my understanding that If it's out of annual, then you need a ferry permit. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

In other words annual was done on 4/29/07 and now we are into May. What do I need to do to get permission A ferry permit, which shouldn't be difficult to get if the plane was fully airworthy before it went out of annual. Contact your local FSDO, or ask your mechanic if he knows a specific contact at the FSDO to contact. I guy who parks near me did this just last month, and it wasn't as big a deal as I would have thought. |

As soon as the annual expired it's no longer legal to reposition to the other airport. The fly-over-to-reposition provisions of the 100hr inspection don't apply to annual inspections. The ferry permit is basically a formality. The A&P gets one, signs off that the aircraft is safe to move, and hands it to you to go get the aircraft. Takes about 1/2 hour to arrange assuming the guy from the FSDO is near his desk. |

It also depends on the FSDO. Some FDSO's require basically a 100 hr inspection before issuing the permit. -Robert |

(Baker's dozen) I would normally try to do that but sometimes the owner needs to be legal on the first flight of his annual cycle as well as the last. Scheduling and completion sometimes just don't work out and you end up with a sign off on or near the last day of a month. As for a ferry permit. The most important thing for the mechanic arranging it is to know that any Airworthiness Directive that is applicable is complied with prior to the ferry flight. Not usually a big deal considering the typical low utilization of most aircraft and a majority of ADs being based on hours but many ADs are based on calendar time as well and that could bite if overlooked. You can fly on a ferry permit if the inspection is overdue but you cannot normally fly with an AD compliance overdue unless it is specifically allowed in the AD and then the Ferry Permit has to allow for the that. So if you apply for a ferry permit for the overdue annual and don't mention the overdue AD then the pilot is definitely in violation. John Dupre' |

Or......Thanks Larry For us Canadians, CAR 615.86 says this: "(a) As applicable to the type of aircraft, at intervals not to expire later than the last day of the 12th month, following the preceding inspection, Part I and Part II of the Maintenance Schedule detailed in Appendix B of these standards are approved by the Minister for use on other than large aircraft, turbine-powered pressurized aeroplanes, airships, any aeroplane or helicopter operated by a flight training unit under CAR 406, or any aircraft operated by air operators under CAR Part VII." So, If I read that right, the annual for a privately- registered aircraft must take place by the last day of the 12th month following the last inspection. Therefore, an annual that last occurred on, say, 12th May '07 must next be done by 31 May '08. Right? Maybe the FARs have something similar. Dan |
