PLT OF A LUSCOMBE SILVAIRE; 8A; OPERATED OUTSIDE OF THE PROVISIONS OF AN ACFT FERRY PERMIT ISSUED BY THE FAA WHEN LNDG AT ANOTHER ARPT THAN SPECIFIED; AND HAD NOT COMPLIED WITH AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE PRIOR TO FLT.

Narrative

FERRY FLTS TO A DISTANT MAINT FACILITY ARE FRAUGHT WITH VARIABLES; AS IS ANY FLT IN A NON ELECTRICAL SYS; 65 HP; ANTIQUE AIRPLANE. THE FERRY PERMIT ISSUERS (FAA) SHOULD BE LIKEWISE FLEXIBLE IN UNDERSTANDING THE OPERATOR'S UNIQUE NEEDS. THE OPERATOR (MYSELF) SHOULD KEEP THEM INFORMED OF CHANGES BY WORKING WITH THEIR BUSINESS HRS. IN TRYING TO COMPLY CLOSELY WITH FARS REGARDING MAINT FERRY FLTS; I APPLIED FOR AND OBTAINED A PERMIT TO FLY FROM 3D2 (EPHRAIM; WI) TO JACKSON; MI. GND TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS CAUSED ME TO AMEND THE DEST TO BTL. THE WX WINDOW DICTATED STARTING OUT ON SUNDAY WHEN MKE FSDO (ISSUER OF PERMIT) WAS CLOSED TO HEAR THAT THE PERMIT WAS IN ERROR; STATING AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE MUST BE COMPLIED WITH BEFORE FERRY. THE AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE AND AN ANNUAL INSPECTION WAS THE VERY REASON FOR THE FERRY; AS TOLD TO THE FAA. THE PERMIT LIMIT WAS BTL; BUT LACK OF BUSINESS HRS AT FAA PREVENTED A FURTHER DEST AMENDMENT TO COLLVER ARPT; JUST SW OF BTL. PERMISSION TO HANGAR AND PROTECT THE ACFT WAS NOT OBTAINED UNTIL AFTER BUSINESS HR. HANGAR AT COLLVER IMPERATIVE DUE STRONG STORMS NEAR.
