Plane Sense 5 5-2 m  CAUTION: If an Airworthiness Directive (AD)  requires compliance before further flight and does  not have a provision for issuance of a special flight  permit, the operation of the aircraft to which it  applies would not be appropriate, and a special flight  permit will not be issued.  A special flight authorization allows a foreign- registered civil aircraft that does not have the equiva- lent of a U.S. standard airworthiness certificate to be  operated within the United States. You should fax the completed form to the FSDO closest to the location where the flight will originate.  You can locate contact information for the FSDO on  the FAA website at www.faa.gov.  Figure 5-1  at the  end of this chapter is a sample FAA Form 8130-6. Some FSDOs may ask you to include additional  information necessary for the purpose of prescribing  operating limitations when you submit FAA Form  8130-6. Examples of additional information might  include:  A civil aircraft registered in a country that is a mem- ber of the International Civil Aviation Organzation  (ICAO) only needs a special flight authorization issu- ed by the FAA. A civil aircraft registered in a country  that is not a member of ICAO must have both an  authorization from the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and a special flight  authorization issued by the FAA. To obtain a special flight authorization, you must  apply by letter or facsimile. The application and issuance procedures are provided in FAA Order  8130.2 (as revised), Airworthiness Certification of  Aircraft and Related Products, Chapter 7, Special  Flight Authorizations for Non-U.S.-Registered Civil  Aircraft. You can obtain assistance and the necessary  forms for issuance of a special flight authorization  from the local FSDO or IFO. The Administrator may also want to inspect the  aircraft in question before approving or issuing a ferry flight permit.  A special flight permit is an FAA Form 8130-7,  Special Airworthiness Certificate, issued pursuant  to 14 CFR part 21, section 21.197, for an aircraft that may not currently meet applicable airworthi- ness requirements but is safe for a specific flight. m  CAUTION: A special flight permit is not an  authorization to deviate from the requirements of 14  CFR part 91.  An applicant for a special flight permit must submit  FAA Form 8130-6, Application for U.S. Airworthiness  Certificate, including a statement indicating:  You may be required to make appropriate inspections  or tests necessary for safety. (This means an A&P  mechanic or 14 CFR part 145 repair station will need  to inspect the aircraft prior to flight.) You may request that the local FSDO transmit the  ferry permit via facsimile if the request is time- sensitive.  Figure 5-2  at the end of this chapter is a sample FAA Form 8130-7. The aircraft operator must display, in the aircraft, the current airworthiness certificate and the special flight  (ferry) permit along with its operating limitations.  For additional information, please refer to 14 CFR  part 21, section 21.197, or your local FSDO.  • Purpose of the flight;  • Proposed itinerary;  • Essential crew required to operate the aircraft; • A copy of the last Aircraft Log Book entry, stating  that the aircraft has been inspected and is in a  safe condition to fly/ferry, that the aircraft  is in compliance with all applicable ADs, and/or a listing of the ADs with which the aircraft is not  in compliance. The entry must be signed by an  A&P mechanic or 14 CFR part 145 repair station.  • A current copy of the Aircraft/Engine/Propeller/ Appliance AD compliance status.  • A current copy of the front page of the aircraft  and engine(s) logbooks, with all entries com- pleted, (i.e., aircraft, engine(s), propeller(s),  manufacturer, model, serial number).  • A current copy of the Certificate of Aircraft  Registration.  • A current copy of the Airworthiness Certificate.  • The ways, if any, in which the aircraft does not  comply with the applicable airworthiness  requirements; and • Any other information requested by the  Administrator, considered necessary for the  purpose of prescribing operating limitations.
