For years the RACWA aircraft were $40 per hour below the rest of the country in comparable (city) locations. Who did this hurt? Everybody else at Jandakot.
That the members now complain that the aircraft are now overpriced is astounding. It's also plain wrong too.
Here's some comparative rates obtained recently:
172: (~110 Knots) $195/hr
172RG: (~120 Knots) $219/hr
Mooney: (~165 Knots) $238/hr
182RG
~ 150 Knots) $280/hr
Air Aust:
172: (~110 Knots) $185/hr
177RG: (~130 Knots) $220/hr
Min:
PA28 Archer: (~115 Knots) $227
PA28 Arrow (~ 125 Knots): $254
That RACWA are now charing what appear to be reasonable market rates must be a breath of fresh air (to those schools/clubs that haven't gone bankrupt in the meantime trying to compete with RACWA)
