Cost for annual
Having been charged £8970 (inc VAT) for an annual on my 4 year old R44 (which took 3 weeks to complete). I am interested to know what others are being charged. Admittedly it needed a new exhaust (£2750) and the 500hr mag check, but this seems incredibly steep and long-winded.
What kind of hourly labour rate is acceptable?
They also chipped my paint (and touched it up with a brush hoping I wouldn't notice!) and left my main rotor blades seriously out of balance. The aircraft was not safe to fly when I collected it and the main rotor required rebalancing.
Thinking seriously about taking my business elsewhere.
Any recommendations?
