Ferry
Pilot Fees
Fees are set by
the individual pilots, but are typically $250 to $350 a day,
depending upon the aircraft and the distance involved, plus
gas, meals, and motel.
Tipping the pilot for a job
well done is customary. Payments are generally made directly
to the pilot in cash, although some may authorize us to
accept payments on a credit card on their behalf.
Want
to estimate what all of this might cost? Figure the
distance involved, and what your fuel expense might be. Add
to that $250 to $350 a day (the ferry pilot's fee) , and an
estimate meals, motel, needed charts, needed ground
transportation, and my fee (see below).
Please
remember to tip the pilot a job well done. $50 to $100 or
more isn't out of line, especially on a long flight.
The total cost of a cross-country airplane delivery can be
around $1 or so a mile, while shorter flights are going to
cost more, of course, given the fixed costs involved.
Some planes cruise at faster speeds and take more fuel, but
use less motel, meals, and pilot time. Often, the plane is
full of fuel at the beginning of the trip, courtesy of the
seller, saving the buyer some cost, and pilots tned to fly
longer into the evening during the Summer months, covering
more distance per-day. Winter trips, on the other hand, tend
to take longer and are more expensive. Also, VFR flights
often require the purchase of charts, where IFR-equipped
planes often have modern GPS equipment, saving that expense.
If expensive charts are necessary, we need to pass that
expense on to the client, and quote "so much a day for
the pilot, plus fuel and charts"... |
My
Fee
If
this is a plane you are buying from me, my charges are
waived. You will only be responsible for the fees and
expenses billed directly by the Ferry Pilot.
I
charge a fee to line-up the flight. In the lower 48 states,
generally $125 for single engine aircraft in the lower 48
states, more for more complex or rare or unusual aircraft
that require lengthy searches for qualified pilots.
Over-water
or foreign trips, or if you require a CFI to accompany you,
or an A&P mechanic to inspect the plane before ferrying
it, generally result in additional fees.
