What should be done regarding aircraft insurance before a ferry flight?

Before a ferry flight, it is prudent to purchase additional coverage specifically for that flight. This is because ferry flights, while operationally similar to regular flights, may invoke different risks and liability considerations that are not necessarily covered under standard insurance policies.

Many standard aircraft insurance policies may contain exclusions or limitations regarding ferry flights, particularly if the aircraft is not actively engaged in regular operations. Therefore, obtaining additional insurance coverage ensures that both the operator and any involved parties are adequately protected in the event of an incident during the ferry flight.

This proactive step not only mitigates financial risk but also ensures compliance with safety and operational protocols that are critical in aviation operations. It is essential for operators to take these measures seriously to protect themselves legally and financially when conducting ferry flights.
