Hi there

Firstly, I'm not a ferry pilot. I have had a few friends (alive and departed) in the business, and happen to know of a few occasions that they have taken right seateds along as an insurance pre-requisit prior to them taking an aircraft across the pond by themselves. However, these guys all have substantially more time in the log than 200 hours!

Would you as a private owner of a brand new Cirrus want a 200 hour Newbie taking it across? Forget single pilot King Airs with that total time also, I'd have thaught insurance would require a minimum of 2000 hours plus supervised sectors for that. Maybe you could however go to the local flying club and pick up some right seat experience on shorter European IFR trips with someone with a bit of time doing such?

We all had 200 hours in the logbook at one time - persevere and the numbers will ascend!

Good luck.
