Interesting topic, thanks for the coverage. ICAO made a lot of thing standardized, AIP documents contain all details quite transparently and in a structured format, but there are still a lot of deviations from ICAO practices around the world, and of course the rules on the ground (FBOs, airport, police, customs) can be so different in various countries.
With hundreds of 8 to 12 hour non-stop flights I'm very familiar with Gatorade. Just don't buy the yellow or orange flavors. The "Travel John" product works very good with the gelatin. No worries about spills and compact to carry when it hasn't been used, drop in the trash after use.
It’s interesting. If you talk to several ferry pilots you will get both versions. Some pilots will tell you that they are always in shortage for pilots and that finding gigs is pretty easy with the only problem being too many options. Then you hear from other guys that is basically near impossible to get flights and to have consistency. Interesting
Adrian Graham I thoroughly enjoyed the DA62 for a light, piston twin. The diesel engines had amazing fuel efficiency and the light weight of the aircraft allowed for a good TAS with that engine size. The interior was very comfortable...the seats don’t adjust, but the rudder pedals do. Joe is 6’4” and I am 5’0” and I’d say we were both very comfortable in the plane for the long flight. Lots of baggage space and the back door access to the back seats and baggage space was great...no climbing over seats or trying to squeeze things through a tiny baggage door. Overall, I was quite impressed with the design and performance, although if I had $1M to personally drop on a plane, this probably wouldn’t be it.
Not under part 91 general aviation regulations. It’s self policing and pilots are expected to make good decisions regarding fitness for flight and reasonable duty times.
Nice listening to what the pilots have to say - always learn a bit about the country and culture customs - The lady seem not well versed and expects all to fit into a US mold .This shows how clueless these pilots are there is no language called," Egyptian " .People in Egypt speak Arabic similar to US UK where all speak English :)
Ferry flying sounds like just my perfect gig. The adventure and travel is what I've always loved and I speak Japanese and French. Hook me up!
nice one, great to see Christy in the chair
What a depth of information and specialized knowledge! Goodness, you deserve a lot of respect and admiration.

Looking to get back into ferrying flying.
I liked it, good 1. Thanks !!!
When is the next taping session? I'd like to go...
Fri evening Feb 21, all day Sat 22, and Sun morn 23rd. Check out the FB TakingOff page for details.
At the intro and 7:55, that’s a da62 if I’m correct
It is a DA62. Joe & I ferried that aircraft from Austria to Ft Lauderdale. You can read more about that trip in a blog on www.flycasey.com
Wow that’s awesome! Thanks Deanna. How do you like flying the 62? And I’m curios to what your thoughts were on the interior finish

❤❤❤❤true 7:10
The big clue dealing with ATC from non-English speaking countries: speak slowly!
Where are they from? They sound very southern.
East Texas ;) We are very southern, haha
We are in Memphis...(one of us). ;)
Deanna Wallace you say East Texas, we hear Western Louisiana. 🤣😂🤣
Jeffrey Jensen, haha, we don’t even speak the same language as Louisiana! 🤣
😂
Is there a legal maximum you can fly per day, per week? I know trucking has regulations on that.

They should have had one in Blackwater
