Global Ferry Flight Service

Yes, the registration is irrelevant, if the aircraft has been sold and is being exported and therefore imported into a country the correct customs procedures need to be followed. There are customs brokers available to assist with the process. We will need a copy of the import/export certificate before the ferry flight.

The aircraft owner is responsible for providing several important documents, including the Certificate of Registration, Certificate of Airworthiness, Insurance Certificate, Radio and Noise Certificates, and Weight and Balance Document. Additional documents required include the Aircraft Flight Manual, Original Certificate of Registration and Certificate of Airworthiness, Noise Certificate (if applicable), Aircraft Radio License, Journey Log / Tech Log Equivalent, Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and Configuration Deviation List (CDL) (if applicable), and the Weight and Balance Document. These documents should be provided to the appropriate parties 1 week before the ferry flight in PDF format.

You must notify us of any known defects especially ones that affect performance. Ideally send us a copy of the relevant MEL pages showing the required equipment and any maintenance actions and operational procedures. We may have to arrange for a ferry permit if the aircraft has not got a current annual / phase check or defective items that cannot be deferred.

Our pilots have a minimum of 4000 hours total time and for Atlantic or Pacific crossings a minimum of 5 crossings. They will have completed recurrent training for the type to be flown within the last 12 months and have been through our vetting process.

Yes the GPS and FMS need to cover the route to be flown so have the countries and airports to be flown over installed and the database needs to be up to date.

For aircraft below 5700kg crossing the Atlantic we provide the required life jackets, rafts and survival suits. Other aircraft and routes it will be the responsibility of the owner to ensure the aircraft is equipped with the required safety equipment for the route. We can supply the required equipment if needed and include it in the costs, just let us know.

Some countries charge an air navigation fee for the use of their airways system. This is separate to clearances and fees that must be purchased / paid for in advance. The aviation authority concerned will usually invoice the aircrafts owner directly but for aircraft over 5700kg an allowance will be included in the quotation.

TFP Operations will communicate progress to the aircraft owner/operator throughout the delivery flight either via telephone or via E-Mail correspondence.

Your quotation will state the amount of days the quotation is based on and includes an allowance for weather delays. Any maintenance or administrative delays beyond our control will incur a daily fee once past the number of days quoted for.

YES! This can be discussed on a case by case basis and is subject to weight and balance limitations but usually YES is the answer.
