PLT FERRIED AN ACFT FOR OWNER WITHOUT THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION.

Narrative

I AM RPTING THE INCIDENT (ALLEGED) ON JUL/XX/91. I WAS ASKED BY OWNER AND OPERATOR TO FERRY AN SMT FROM DALLAS TO FXE AFTER HIS PURCHASE OF SAID ACFT. I; ALONG WITH OWNER AND HIS CO-OWNER; WENT TO RETRIEVE ACFT. HE HAD MECHS IN DALLAS INSPECT THE ACFT. I PERSONALLY WITNESSED A MECH A AND P SAY THE ACFT AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES HAD BEEN COMPLIED WITH AND PRODUCED LOGBOOKS AND PAPERWORK TO THE FACT BEFORE OUR DEP TO FXE. I; AS A COMPETENT PLT; PREFLTED ACFT AND FOUND IT TO BE AIRWORTHY. THE FERRY PERMIT WAS SAID TO BE SENT TO THE OWNER'S OFFICE. I ALSO WAS LED TO BELIEVE A COPY OF THE PERMIT WAS ON THE ACFT OR OWNER OPERATOR. I FLEW TO PENSACOLA WHEREUPON OFFICIALS WANTED TO INSPECT THE ACFT. OWNER COULD NOT PRODUCE THE DOCUMENT AS HE WAS MISLED ALSO. WE IMMEDIATELY REINSPECTED THE ACFT BY QUALIFIED PERSONS AND WAS ISSUED THE PERMIT. I THEN COMPLETED THE FLT TO FXE AS PLANNED SUCCESSFULLY AND SAFELY. I AM BEING VIOLATED FOR AN INCIDENT THAT HAS TRULY MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES AND I AM INNOCENT OF ANY VIOLATION. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO NOT RPT WITHIN 10 DAYS; AS AN AVIATION ATTORNEY WAS GOING TO DO IT FOR ME. I LATER FOUND OUT THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING. I FEEL THE OWNER OPERATOR MISLED ME TO BELIEVE A PERMIT WAS ACQUIRED. THE ACFT WAS AIRWORTHY AS WAS PROVED AND THEREFORE I ASK TO BE EXONERATED FROM ANY VIOLATION.
