There are basically two options: shipping and ferrying. Your decision on which of these to use is often dictated by the cost, time involved, and logistics.<br><br>\u201cWhen determining whether to ferry your helicopter, you should consider a number of factors,\u201d said Marcus Vogel, chief pilot and operations manager at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigblueair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Big Blue Air<\/a> <\/span>in Stayner, Ontario. \u201cDistance is the first major factor, and how soon you need it at your base. Flying is fastest but, depending on distance, can be pretty expensive. Of course, you need to consider the aircraft\u2019s condition. Is it in good shape to fly the distance? Is there maintenance coming due?<br><br>\u201cThe other big thing is putting a plan together to know the full cost to ferry \u2014 hours of flight time, days requiring a hotel, transportation, food costs for the pilot\u2026 all those things,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou will also need to budget for a ferry pilot if you are not qualified in that type or don\u2019t have enough experience to be covered by insurance.\u201d<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9043\" width=\"838\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3.jpg 754w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-400x211.jpg 400w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-750x395.jpg 750w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-450x237.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><figcaption>Focusing on the task at hand, during long transits, is just another day at the office<br>for a ferry pilot. <strong>Marcus Vogel Photo<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong><big><strong>Determine time and cost<\/strong><\/big><\/strong><br><br>\u201cFerrying can very well be one of the longer flights the aircraft ever goes on, so it&#8217;s usually a big expense,\u201d noted Vogel. \u201cIt can also be unpredictable. For example, to go from Texas to Ontario is about 12 to 15 hours of flight time, depending on the aircraft. If weather is good and there are no maintenance issues along the way, you can do that in a couple of days. But weather and maintenance can slow that down. For a recently maintained aircraft or a new one, maintenance shouldn\u2019t be as much of a problem. However, it\u2019s wise to anticipate a potential maintenance issue if ferrying an aircraft toward the end of a cycle before a large scheduled maintenance or overhaul.\u201d<br><br>This is particularly true when ferrying helicopters across multiple countries, especially those with few maintenance options.<br><br>\u201cMaintenance delays are a huge headache,\u201d said professional contract pilot Darcy Hoover, who has flown helicopters around the world, including across hostile war-torn regions. \u201cYou could break down in a country that is difficult to get parts in or out of. Weather can cause delays, but usually just a day or two. Depending on the aircraft type and length of ferry, you may want to include an engineer or two and a \u2018fly-away\u2019 kit of spares and tools.\u201d<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9045\" width=\"842\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1.jpg 754w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1-150x77.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1-400x205.jpg 400w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1-750x384.jpg 750w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-1-1-450x230.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><figcaption>Darcy and his co-pilot planning their repositioning ferry flight of a Super Puma. In total, they travelled 11,265 km in 25 days from Gabon to Poland for storage. <strong>Darcy Hoover Photo<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Hourly aircraft operating costs and fuel can be fairly accurately predicted with preflight planning. Other costs include pilot needs. Vogel suggests it\u2019s in the owner\u2019s best interest to not skimp on hotels. \u201cA good night\u2019s rest in a comfortable hotel where a pilot can get a good meal will help the pilot stay sharp and be in the best shape to take good care of your asset,\u201d he said.<br><br>Other costs include landing and overnight fees, pilot transportation between the airport and hotels and restaurants, and food.<br><br>If the new owner is not ferrying the helicopter, ferry pilot fees need to be considered. Depending on the type of aircraft, pilots can charge anywhere from several hundred dollars to $1,500 per day. Some will request a per diem on top to cover hotel, food, and transportation, while others could request direct reimbursement for expenses.<br><br>\u201cThere are several ways you can pay your ferry pilot,\u201d explained Vogel. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to be taken advantage of with someone taking a little longer than needed, but you don\u2019t want them to fly in bad weather. Some people pay a base day rate plus hours flown, then a per diem or reimbursement of expenses.\u201d For larger helicopters, Hoover charges closer to $1,500 a day, especially when flying across multiple countries.<br><br>In cases where the new owner wants to accompany the ferry pilot, there is one other consideration to include, said Vogel. \u201cA professional pilot can fly eight to 10 hours a day, but a new private owner may not be comfortable flying that long,\u201d he warned. \u201cYou need to consider this when calculating how long it will take to ferry the aircraft and the added expenses of extra days. It may be worth it to the owner, having that experience. It\u2019s just important to be realistic about what they can do in a day and plan accordingly.<br><br><strong><big><strong>Be prepared when crossing borders<\/strong><\/big><\/strong><br><br>Speaking of border crossings, ferrying your aircraft between countries adds an additional level of required knowledge and experience, not to mention preparation.<br><br>First and foremost, the pilot in command (PIC) must be licensed in the aircraft\u2019s registered country. For instance, an FAA-registered helicopter, even if being flown from Brazil to Canada, will require a PIC with an FAA-issued license.<br><br>Vogel says moving an aircraft between the U.S. and Canada is fairly simple and similar to driving across the border when reporting to customs. Have your license and registration, proof of purchase, and paid import and export fees and taxes handy, and things should be smooth sailing, he said.<br><br>Flying south of the U.S. border and beyond, in addition to other parts of the world, adds levels of complexity. Vogel\u2019s team often flies through the Caribbean and south through Mexico into Central and South America. \u201cFrom Mexico on south, you have to have a flight plan filed at the airport before takeoff for every leg, and you have to report to customs in each country,\u201d he explained. \u201cSometimes they look at your paperwork and determine you are who you say you are and the owner is who the paperwork says. Other times they\u2019ll inspect the aircraft and all its contents as well. You have to be ready for everything, have all your paperwork in order, and plan for the time it takes to do this in every country.\u201d<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9046\" width=\"843\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1.jpg 754w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1-400x211.jpg 400w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1-750x395.jpg 750w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-2-1-450x237.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><figcaption>The views of ever-changing landscapes are a plus for ferry pilots. <strong>Marcus Vogel Photo<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Hoover added that it is also important to be aware of what pitfalls to avoid \u2014 a handy benefit of hiring an experienced pilot in international ferry flights.<br><br>\u201cDoes the routing take you through dangerous or active war zones? Does the routing require massive bureaucracy to transit through? Sometimes this can be avoided if knowledge of the route is ample,\u201d said Hoover. \u201cTons of helicopters are ferried from the U.S. to Brazil, for example. No one stops in Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago on the main island, as they are famous for being a pain; instead, stop in Scarborough on the small island of Trinidad and Tobago, where it\u2019s easy to pass through.\u201d<\/p><p><strong><big><strong>Choosing a pilot<\/strong><\/big><\/strong><br><br>Many private owners often want to participate in ferrying their aircraft. Insurance and licensing requirements will dictate if they can, in fact, be PIC or even log the flight time.<br><br>However, a ferry flight is a good opportunity to become familiar with the aircraft, its avionics, and its systems \u2014 not to mention have a great adventure. In these cases, finding a qualified ferry pilot is paramount.<br><br>\u201cYour insurance company will dictate the experience needed to be covered on the aircraft,\u201d said Vogel. \u201cYour broker or even your maintenance provider where you\u2019ll have the aircraft looked after can be a good source for finding someone with those qualifications. Look for a pilot with experience in the make and model and who has experience ferrying or at least flying across country. If you\u2019re having the aircraft ferried across borders, it\u2019s valuable to hire a pilot that has experience in international ferry flights, especially in the region you\u2019re having it flown.\u201d<br><br>Hoover emphasizes the value of doing your homework: \u201cGuys could BS \u2014 which is pretty common in the industry \u2014 by saying they can or have done something. Then you figure it out when they get there, which often leads to headaches, delays, and more costs. Ask around for references and information on other ferries they performed. There are pilots who specialize in ferrying aircraft.\u201d<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9047\" width=\"848\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1.jpg 754w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1-400x211.jpg 400w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1-750x395.jpg 750w, https:\/\/assets.helitrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Rectangle-130-3-1-450x237.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><figcaption>The life of a ferry pilot captured here repositioning an AW139 from Louisiana to Trinidad. <br><strong>Darcy Hoover Photo<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While finishing up the paperwork and jumping through the final hoops of purchasing your helicopter, \u2028you should be researching how you\u2019ll transport your helicopter home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buying-a-helicopter","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.8 (Yoast SEO v23.8) -
