Ferry is a commercial-pilot operation under 14 CFR Part 91 — not flight instruction — which is why light-piston twins are included even though multi-engine instruction is not offered.
Aircraft ferry — frequently asked
An aircraft ferry pilot is a qualified pilot you hire to fly an airplane from one location to another — for example, picking up an airplane you just bought and delivering it home, repositioning one for sale, or moving it for maintenance. It's a commercial pilot operation under 14 CFR Part 91, not flight instruction.
Single-engine and light-piston twin airplanes — types like the Cessna 172/182/206/210, Beechcraft Bonanza, Cirrus SR20/SR22, Piper singles, and light twins such as the Baron, Seneca, or Aztec. As a commercial pilot with multi-engine and instrument ratings, Jesse can ferry piston twins even though multi-engine instruction is not offered.
Yes. Ferry flights run coast-to-coast across the continental United States and to the Caribbean (Bahamas). Routes, fuel stops, and weather windows are planned conservatively, and the flight is flown single-pilot IFR-capable when conditions call for it.
The aircraft owner's insurance typically covers the airplane during the ferry, and many policies require the ferry pilot to be named on the policy or to meet the open-pilot warranty minimums. Those details are confirmed with your insurer or broker before the flight.
