Annual overdue by a few days

It also depends on how far you want to ferry the plane. 50 or 100 miles
then probably no problem. No FSDO is going to give you a ferry permit
to go 1000 miles back to your home airport for an annual. They'll just
tell you to get the annual locally.

Am I allowed to fly my plane to a near by airport in order to complete
the aircraft annual even if it is a few days after annual due date? In
other words annual was done on 4/29/07 and now we are into May. What
do I need to do to get permission and how long can this extension be.
Would this be different than a "Ferry Flight" limited to 10hrs.
Or......Thanks

Get your A&P to call the FSDO and get a ferry permit. As soon as the
annual expired it's no longer legal to reposition to the other
airport. The fly-over-to-reposition provisions of the 100hr
inspection don't apply to annual inspections.

The ferry permit is basically a formality. The A&P gets one, signs
off that the aircraft is safe to move, and hands it to you to go get
the aircraft. Takes about 1/2 hour to arrange assuming the guy from
the FSDO is near his desk.

The FAA cannot dictate where you will annual an airplane. And yes, you can get a ferry permit to fly coast to coast if neccessary.

Sure they CAN, all they have to do is not issue the ferry permit. And
yes most FSDOs will give fairly long distance permits.

The FAA will not withhold a ferry permit "because we want to". As long as an A&P confirms AD's are complied with and signs the logbook as well as the ferry permit the FAA could care less.

BS. The FAA can and does withhold a ferry permit so you can get an
annual 1000 miles away. There's no reason to issue a ferry permit for
an annual that far away. Get it done closer. You have no inherent
right to have your plane annualled at a certain location. One location
is as good as the next.

LOL! After doing this for the past 35 years as an A&P/IA as well as a pilot this is a new one. Maybe you can site for me in the FAR's or the Airworthiness Inspectors Handbook the reference for your remark?

Go ahead and believe what you want, but it's simply not true.

BTW, years ago I picked up an Aztec in Arizona (out of annual) and ferried it (on a ferry permit) to Tennessee.

You have a right to take your airplane anywhere you want. Once again, please provide the reference to back up such an inane remark.
