Special Flight Permit (SFP) – CASA Delegate Approvals
Fast, compliant Special Flight Permits issued by a CASA Delegate so you can safely ferry aircraft for maintenance without unnecessary delays
What is a Special Flight Permit (SFP)?
A Special Flight Permit (SFP) allows an aircraft to be flown to a maintenance facility when it is safe to operate but does not currently meet full airworthiness requirements. This is typically needed when the maintenance release has expired, a defect prevents normal dispatch, or required maintenance is due and cannot be completed at the aircraft’s current location.
Why it matters:
When you need to:
Ferry an aircraft to a maintenance provider
Move an aircraft from a remote strip to a hangar
Reposition for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance
Complete troubleshooting or inspection at another base

Rapid support when your aircraft is grounded
Fast Special Flight Permit approval issued directly by a CASA Delegate for maintenance flights.
When an aircraft becomes grounded due to an expired maintenance release, an unresolved defect, or maintenance that cannot be completed on site, operators often need to relocate the aircraft urgently. Direen Aviation provides rapid help to secure a Special Flight Permit (SFP) so the aircraft can be safely ferried to a maintenance facility. Our priority is reducing downtime, restoring operational continuity, and enabling fast, compliant maintenance repositioning flights.
Safe flight conditions & limitations
We assess airworthiness and prepare safe flight conditions for maintenance ferry flights.
Direen Aviation conducts a detailed airworthiness assessment to confirm the aircraft is suitable for a one-time maintenance repositioning flight. We review defects, maintenance status and configuration, then develop the conditions required for safe flight for the Special Flight Permit. This includes routing, altitude, speed, weight limits, crew requirements and any pre-flight actions needed to ensure the aircraft can be safely repositioned to the maintenance facility under controlled operating conditions.
