R44 TRUE Operating Costs?
There have been a few previous posts on this general subject, but I wasn't able to find any SPECIFIC numbers relating to the R44 operating costs from the field. Therefore, what is your average HOURLY operating cost (include unscheduled maintenance, regular inspections, scheduled maintenance, fuel, and oil ONLY)?
Please do NOT include the purchase price, financing of your aircraft, insurance costs, nor any hangar fees. The answer will vary with flying conditions, type of operation, fuel costs, etc. Nevertheless, I thought it would be a useful comparison for everyone here.
Cheers!
