Chapter 4: Aircraft Registration
special Flight Permits
special flight permit can be issued to any U.S. registered aircraft that may not currently
meet applicable airworthiness requirements but is capable of safe flight. Before the permit
is issued, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspector (ASI) may inspect
the aircraft or require it to be inspected by an FAA-certificated airframe and powerplant (A&P)
mechanic or repair station to determine its safety for the intended flight. The inspection is then
recorded in the aircraft records. This type of special flight permit is often referred to as a “ferry
permit” because it allows the aircraft to be ferried to a location for maintenance.
In the case of general aviation flights (e.g., flights conducted by operators other than Title 14
of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121 or part 135 certificate holders), special
flight permits are issued by the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)/International Field
Office (IFO) having jurisdiction over the geographical area in which the flight is to originate.
Circumstances Warranting a special Flight Permit
A special flight permit is issued to allow the aircraft to be flown to a base where repairs,
alterations, or maintenance can be performed; for delivering or exporting the aircraft; or for
evacuating an aircraft from an area of impending danger. It may also be issued to allow the
operation of an overweight aircraft for flight beyond its normal range over water or land areas
where adequate landing facilities are not available.
The following list, which is not all-inclusive, sets forth the most common requests for special
flight permits:
• Flying the aircraft to a base where repairs, alterations, or maintenance are to be performed,
or to a point of salvage
• Flying an aircraft whose annual inspection has expired to a base where an annual inspection
can be accomplished
• Flying an amateur-built aircraft whose condition inspection has expired to a base where the
condition inspection can be accomplished
• Delivering or exporting the aircraft
• Production flight testing of new production aircraft
• Evacuating aircraft from areas of impending danger
• Conducting customer demonstration flights in new production aircraft that have
satisfactorily completed production flight tests
• Operating an aircraft at a weight in excess of its maximum certificated takeoff weight
