Narrative:

While en route from cvg to crw it was discovered that our #1 navigation equipment had become inoperative. I asked the first officer to hold all checklists until we were out of the terminal area due to traffic congestion. From this paint, we requested a heading from ATC to our first fix 80 mi away, and informed them of the problem. After leaving the terminal area, we referred to the flight standards and QRH checklist. After completing checklists, we notified company maintenance via radio. After landing in crw (visual approach) we contacted them via telephone and wrote the problem up in the deferral logbook. We also knew this problem, according to the flight standards manual was not deferrable, and the flight back to cvg would have to be made without passenger, and just required crew. After waiting approximately 2 hours for contract maintenance to arrive and fill out logbook and issue us a ferry permit for the return trip to cvg, we were informed by ground personnel that we needed to hurry up and leave because other flts were inbound and they needed our parking space. 15 mins later, contract maintenance informed me all the paperwork was complete, and we were good to go. In a hurry due to inbound flts, we boarded the aircraft, briefed, ran all checklists, and departed. When arriving at cvg, I noticed I had forgot to ask the maintenance person for the maintenance canister which contained our ferry permit. The flight was made far part 91 without the ferry permit in the aircraft.

Title: EMB120 FLC FERRIES ACFT WITHOUT FERRY PERMIT.

Narrative: WHILE ENRTE FROM CVG TO CRW IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT OUR #1 NAV EQUIP HAD BECOME INOP. I ASKED THE FO TO HOLD ALL CHKLISTS UNTIL WE WERE OUT OF THE TERMINAL AREA DUE TO TFC CONGESTION. FROM THIS PAINT, WE REQUESTED A HDG FROM ATC TO OUR FIRST FIX 80 MI AWAY, AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROB. AFTER LEAVING THE TERMINAL AREA, WE REFERRED TO THE FLT STANDARDS AND QRH CHKLIST. AFTER COMPLETING CHKLISTS, WE NOTIFIED COMPANY MAINT VIA RADIO. AFTER LNDG IN CRW (VISUAL APCH) WE CONTACTED THEM VIA TELEPHONE AND WROTE THE PROB UP IN THE DEFERRAL LOGBOOK. WE ALSO KNEW THIS PROB, ACCORDING TO THE FLT STANDARDS MANUAL WAS NOT DEFERRABLE, AND THE FLT BACK TO CVG WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE WITHOUT PAX, AND JUST REQUIRED CREW. AFTER WAITING APPROX 2 HRS FOR CONTRACT MAINT TO ARRIVE AND FILL OUT LOGBOOK AND ISSUE US A FERRY PERMIT FOR THE RETURN TRIP TO CVG, WE WERE INFORMED BY GND PERSONNEL THAT WE NEEDED TO HURRY UP AND LEAVE BECAUSE OTHER FLTS WERE INBOUND AND THEY NEEDED OUR PARKING SPACE. 15 MINS LATER, CONTRACT MAINT INFORMED ME ALL THE PAPERWORK WAS COMPLETE, AND WE WERE GOOD TO GO. IN A HURRY DUE TO INBOUND FLTS, WE BOARDED THE ACFT, BRIEFED, RAN ALL CHKLISTS, AND DEPARTED. WHEN ARRIVING AT CVG, I NOTICED I HAD FORGOT TO ASK THE MAINT PERSON FOR THE MAINT CANISTER WHICH CONTAINED OUR FERRY PERMIT. THE FLT WAS MADE FAR PART 91 WITHOUT THE FERRY PERMIT IN THE ACFT.
