Planning to relocate a PA-28 from Oz to Europe. Would like to fly myself but am not experienced enough to plan and execute by myself, so the idea is to take a ferry pilot for the ride and of course the prep and paperwork.
Have contacted Clamback & Hennessy, ferryflights.org and
International Ferry Flights Ferrying And Ferry Pilot Service. Anyone had dealings with these guys, and is there anyone else out there I should be talking to?
Seeking advice on things like:
- likely costs as opposed to shipping in container, especially the things ferry orgs don't quote you on like fees en-route, ATC charges, insurance, etc., for such a long tour
- equipment needed, most likely looking at renting survival and comms gear.
- ferry flight permits or equivalent as the tour will most likely exceed 100 hours
- export CofA and any paperwork/tech checks needed here and in Europe
- whether ferry tanks may be needed (180 litres usable, 30-35 l/hr cons., 115 KIAS)
- any do's/dont's from people who been there/done that
Thanks heaps in advance, I've flown on three continents and around an entire one, but never through so many countries and especially the dodgy ones along the route. Looking forward to the adventure though, should be pretty cool
