I recently got into a discussion with someone about bring an airplane from one airport to another with only a PPL. I wanted to throw a few scenarios out there to get some other opinions and maybe some clarification before I go to someone else concerning the matter.
1. A PPL is approached and asked to bring an aircraft from one airport to another and pays all of the expenses himself. The aircraft is operated under a ferry permit. This can only be done with a CPL, correct?
2. Let's say this PPL is working for Company A and his boss asks him to pick the aircraft up from another state and to bring it "home." The aircraft will be used strictly for business with Company A purposes and, like scenario 1, the PPL will pay for all of the expenses for the flight. Once again, the flight is operated under a ferry permit. Can this be done legally with only a PPL?
3. Lastly, let's say a PPL is an employee of Company A and is on vacation in another state for a personal reason. His boss calls him up and asks if he can bring an airplane back while paying for all of the expenses himself like scenario 1 and 2. However, like the previous scenarios, the flight will be operated under a ferry permit. How would this work out?
Do you need a CPL to operate an aircraft under a ferry permit regardless of the scenario?
Sorry if the answers are obvious and I'm just missing it. I've been thinking so much about it and need some fresh minds to take a look.
Thanks for any help.
