IFR vs VFR

Instrument flight rules (IFR) are regulations and procedures for flying aircraft by referring only to the aircraft instrument panel for navigation. Even if nothing can be seen outside the cockpit windows, an IFR-rated pilot can fly from one location to another while looking only at the instrument panel. An IFR-rated pilot can also be authorized to fly through clouds, using Air Traffic Control procedures designed to maintain separation from other aircraft. Most scheduled airline flights operate under IFR.

Visual Flight Rules (VFR) are often used in roles such as sight-seeing flights, aerial photography, or lift services for parachute jumping. Pilots flying under VFR are not permitted to fly through clouds. Many non-commercial, private recreational aircraft operate under VFR whenever the sky is clear. Under VFR, the pilot is primarily responsible for navigation, obstacle clearance and maintaining separation from other aircraft.

Repositioning Aircraft

Repositioning aircraft from country to country is usually done by ferry flight. Following are just a few mode of transporting the helicopter by sea.
- Ferry or Auxiliary fuel tanks to extend teh range of each leg flown.
- An experienced commercial ferry pilot who is used to long periods of flight (sometimes up to 10 hours per leg)
- Overflight and Navigation permits for flying over or navigating through countries enroute 

Acquiring an Aircraft Located in Another Country

There are several potential pitfalls involved in a foreign asset acquisition, be it an Aircraft or anything else besides.

Free and clear title is essential, as well as de-registration from the country's aviation register, ensuring no liens or mortgages exist and all bills / invoices have been settled.

We do not recommend an individual embark on this process without experienced guidance. At Lloyd Aviation, we have been specialising in international sales and purchase of aircraft for several decades, and we are able to ensure you avoid the many potential pitfalls that can exist.
