How A Ferry Trip Works

Step by step how Short Final conducts a safe and successful ferry trip.

Palm View Aircraft Pre-Buy

We start by working with our team of experienced mechanics at Palm View Aircraft, to give your aircraft a thorough and safe pre-buy inspection.

This step can be bypassed under certain circumstances.

Trip Planning and Scheduling

Once we know your aircraft is safe to ferry, our skilled team at Short Final will then thoroughly brief weather, legal requirements, fuel, timeframe, alternates, etc. To make sure your aircraft has a 100% chance of arriving to its destination.

Flying the Trip

With planning complete, and a trip date set. One of our highly experienced pilots will airline to the starting airport. Dependent on the length of the trip and rest requirements. The pilot will fly the trip safely and in a timely matter.

The aircraft owner is always welcome to join on trips, and learn what it's like to ferry an aircraft long distances.

Completion and Invoicing

Once the pilot has safely delivered your aircraft and arrived back at his base, we will send an invoice for the trip with reference to a trip quote at the beginning of the process.
