Do you need a valid ppc to ferry aircraft?

Post by nwopilot »

Hello,

If I had a Pc-12 Type rating, but I had not completed a PPC within 1 year, would I still be able to ferry a Pc-12 for a new owner? Do you require a ppc to ferry aircraft for a private owner? What part of the cars does this fall under? Are you able to charge money?

Thanks!

Aren't PC12s only registerable under 604? If that's the case I'd imagine you need a PPC. I might be wrong but I thought there was something special about PC12s in Canada where they can't be operated just privately.

A Canadian PC12 requires a part 604 private operator registration to carry passengers or goods, but if it’s just the ferry pilot on board it appears to be exempt.

Ah ok. Should be good to go then. Kinda scary though that any random pilot can go fly a PC12 with a single engine PPL.

Well I guess not anyone, since you'd need insurance.

Or call if you want someone without a ppc who thinks it would be a cool experience. I have time on my hands.

It’s been a while since I’ve had to know.....do you even get a ‘PPC’ or is it a PCC on a PC12 being a single engine?
And there is no type rating, as it’s under 12,500? Just curious!!!

Yep PPC required for left seat 703. You can sit in the right with a PCC as long as it's operated two crew as per your COM otherwise your just single pilot.

Non revenue ferry flight even a company rescue mission no current ppc is required even in 705 as long as you have a type rating(heavy aircraft) no ppc required. As long as you have the proper licence for weight catagory. Not a commercial flight current ppc not needed.

So let's say you want to ferry a C-reg Q400 between YUL and YYZ. If you're not under 705, what part of the regs would you be operating under?

705.

And in 705.106 (3) it says you don’t need a PPC for ferry flights.

You also don’t need a PPC for 702 even with a passenger carrying Ops spec, and for VFR single engine operations under 703.

The old license format used to be more descriptive and indicative of what you could do with it. My CPL from 2000 said "All single pilot non high performance, single and multi engine land aeroplanes..." Provided you aren't carrying paying pax you can fly all single engine non high performance aeroplanes. Pretty sure the PC12 is non high performance. Technically if you do the ferry and don't charge for it, a PPL is enough, if they pay you, you require a CPL, and if you carry paying pax, then it has to be don IAW an appropriate OC, with all that comes with it, like a PPC, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong mighty internet.

Turbine, pressurized and 6+ seats can't be flown privately. Well, 604, but that's still under an operating certificate.

The ferry flight will be operated under somebody's OC. In the case of a PC12 it will be under 604, 702 or 703. You don't need a PPC, but you'll still need everything else.

From AC 604-004 on the plain language breakdown of 604.02..03
Note: The operators of the aircraft listed in subsection 604.03(1) of the CARs Prohibition must register as a Private Operator, unless they are operating in accordance with Part VII of the CARs or under a flight permit issued under Airworthiness Standard 507 of the CARs.

Which regulation would have been broken if someone flies a PC12 with just themselves on board without a PORD?

You don't even need an autopilot to fly single pilot IFR let alone a PPC. A PPC is a commercial ops requirement. Non rev, ferry flight or a company service flight or just the boss jumping in to go to a meeting is all good. PPC is not part of your pilot's license. Back in the day when TC could not keep up with rides and PPC's, there were operators who advised TC that after training pilots would be working without a PPC until TC could supply inspectors to conduct the rides. PPC is only needed when AC is conducting a commercial flight but not a part of your license. To the letter of the law pilots are not even responsible to track PPC currency and is a company requirement unlike your medical, IFR and license which falls totally on our shoulders.

Call the owners insurance underwriter, they will make the final decision on who can fly it anyway.

Certainly but the insurance company would only be concerned about experience level and current and proper licence for type and of course goes without saying crew requirements as set out in the certification. Then it's all down to owner's permission. It's like a dog chasing its tail. I had the same reaction from my pilots when I would jump in and go solo to an event. They could not get their 700 hr mind around it.

As long as you didn't carry passengers or goods and flew on conventional navaids and didn't go into RVSM airspace you would be fine. If you need special authorizations (GPS, RVSM) then you have to register.
