Hi - I ferried a PA-28 from Northern England to Germany in August, and the owner's insurers needed to know:

- what my licences were (i.e, JAA or FAA, PPL or CPL, IMC or IR, etc)
- my total hours
- how many hours on type
- if I had any claims to my name

They were satisfied with the answers, and I got to do the flight. However, I didn't get paid for it (the owner paid for my expenses and refunded landing fees, AVGAS uplift, etc) - I reckon if I had insisted on dosh, he would have used someone else... Got 5.4 flight hours at somebody else's expense though, and got to cross the Channel and fly over France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany (just).

I wouldn't ferry a single engine a/c - or a MEP - over the North Atlantic; that's REALLY serious business best left to ferry professionnals.

Cheers
