tell you to get the annual locally.




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.

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.

I would think that any savvy AI would have waited and signed the annual off
on 5/1 which gives the annual a 13 month duration. (Baker's dozen)

I would normally try to do that but sometimes the owner needs to be
legal on the first flight of his annual cycle as well as the last.
Scheduling and completion sometimes just don't work out and you end up
with a sign off on or near the last day of a month.

As for a ferry permit. The most important thing for the mechanic
arranging it is to know that any Airworthiness Directive that is
applicable is complied with prior to the ferry flight. Not usually a
big deal considering the typical low utilization of most aircraft and
a majority of ADs being based on hours but many ADs are based on
calendar time as well and that could bite if overlooked. You can fly
on a ferry permit if the inspection is overdue but you cannot normally
fly with an AD compliance overdue unless it is specifically allowed in
the AD and then the Ferry Permit has to allow for the that. So if you
apply for a ferry permit for the overdue annual and don't mention the
overdue AD then the pilot is definitely in violation.

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

For us Canadians, CAR 615.86 says this:

"(a) As applicable to the type of aircraft, at intervals not to expire
later than the last day of the 12th month, following the preceding
inspection, Part I and Part II of the Maintenance Schedule detailed in
Appendix B of these standards are approved by the Minister for use on
other than large aircraft, turbine-powered pressurized aeroplanes,
airships, any aeroplane or helicopter operated by a flight training
unit under CAR 406, or any aircraft operated by air operators under
CAR Part VII."

So, If I read that right, the annual for a privately-
registered aircraft must take place by the last day of the 12th month
following the last inspection. Therefore, an annual that last occurred
on, say, 12th May '07 must next be done by 31 May '08. Right?
Maybe the FARs have something similar.

Most time intervals specified by the FAA work that way, they expire at the
end of the month. If you play your cars right and are systematic, you can
legally get an annual every 13 months.

Generally, you have your mechanic start your annual early and then "finish"
it (sign it off) on the first day of the month after your current annual
expires.

Or use the 13 month loophole to rotate the annual to a spot on the
calendar that is convenient for you. I get mine to February or March
for that reason.
