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 |
| 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 $50 for single engine non-complex aircraft in the
lower 48 states, $75 for a complex single, or taildragger, $100 for
a light twin. Finding pilots for over-water or foreign trips is
more. 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. |
