Need Your Plane Moved?
Whether you've recently purchased an aircraft, need it repositioned for maintenance, or simply need it relocated from one airport to another, Malone Aviation provides professional ferry pilot services with an emphasis on careful planning, safety, and communication throughout the trip.
Every ferry flight is different. Before accepting a trip, we'll discuss the aircraft, its condition and equipment, departure and destination airports, weather considerations, scheduling, and any other factors that could affect the flight.

Safety Comes First
Safety Comes First
Moving an unfamiliar aircraft across the state or across the country requires more than simply getting in and flying it home.
Before departure, consideration is given to the aircraft's maintenance and inspection status, required documents, equipment, weather, route, fuel availability, airport suitability, and other operational factors that could affect the flight.
A ferry flight will not be rushed simply to meet a schedule.
Weather, aircraft condition, maintenance concerns, or other safety considerations may require a route change, delay, or cancellation.

Aircraft Condition & Special Flight Permits
Aircraft must normally be airworthy and appropriately equipped for the proposed flight.
In some circumstances, an aircraft that does not currently meet all applicable airworthiness requirements may be eligible for an FAA Special Flight Permit—commonly called a “ferry permit”—if the aircraft is capable of safe flight.
When applicable, the aircraft owner will be responsible for obtaining any required FAA authorization and coordinating required inspections or maintenance before the flight.
Acceptance of any aircraft or ferry assignment remains subject to review of the aircraft, documentation, proposed route, operating conditions, and pilot qualifications required for that aircraft.
