CHECK FLIGHTS Distance Between Cities Airport Codes Runway Finder Low-time and no airline privileges? We don't mean to offend, but our clients want an experienced pilot flying their airplane, and don't want to buy airline tickets, when pilots with passes are available. To help keep expenses and travel time down, we try to hire a ferry pilot reasonably close to the point of origin or the destination. For example, we wouldn't normally hire a pilot from California to deliver a plane from Boston to Miami.

How This Works TMM = Time in Make & Model AP = Airline Privileges IR = Instrument Rated CE = Considerable Experience (TMM, Total Time, Years) CFI = Certified Flight Instructor CWA = Client Will Accompany Pilot OOA = Out Of Annual I am acting as an agent in this transaction, placing you in touch with a client needing an airplane ferried. I am paid by the client, generally $100 for single engine non-complex aircraft in the lower 48 states, $125 for a complex single, taildragger, or light twin. Finding pilots for over-water or foreign trips is more, or if you require a CFI to accompany you, or an A&P mechanic to inspect the plane before ferrying it. Whatever arrangement you make with the client is between the two of you, and you agree that I am not responsible in anyway for the aircraft or the transaction. Be sure that I have a copy of your flight resume', so that I can provide information about you to the client and the insurance company covering the flight. You fly under the owner's policy. It is the responsibility of the client to approve the pilot as qualified to fly the plane and make the deal, and to provide insurance coverage. It is your responsibility to deliver the plane and be paid directly by the client. You are not a Kamakazee, and you should expect the plane to be in airworthy condition. Out-of-Annual aircraft, with a ferry permit, should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Generally, our veteran pilots charge $250 a day for light aircraft in the lower 48 states, sometimes more, plus all the expenses of the trip, including fuel, meals, motels, charts, and needed ground transportation. Some pilots, usually those with good flying experience, but not the "thousands of hours" that our airline captains have, charge $250, or so, a day plus fuel, and pay their own motel and meals. Twin-engine and more complex aircraft generally command higher fees. Time is generally computed from the time you leave home, until you arrive back home. It is customary to tip the pilot and get you to airport for the trip home. We do have pilots with CFI and CFI II experience, who will be glad to give you a quote on instruction time, if you want to fly with them to log your required insurance time. Want a quick estimate of cost? A rule of thumb for single-engine airplane delivery is somewhere around 80¢ to $1 a mile for domestic flights. Short-hops are more per-mile, 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"... Overall, a buck a mile isn't a bad way to look at it. And, again, we remind the client to tip the pilot. All parties, including pilot, aircraft owner, and anyone else involved, agree that I am simply providing contact with pilots willing to ferry aircraft, do not warranty the qualifications or abilities of pilots presented, and am held harmless from all subsequent actions.
