How do you figure that, Chopjock?
I know what it costs to operate because I own one and it's on the N register.
£5000. PA insurance.
£ 15,000 PA maintenance based on 100 hrs / year
£ 40 p/hr fuel
120 kts cruise 18 gph
That's approx £240 /hr DOC. You should expect to pay less than £200 k for a good one. And they hold their price very well too so perhaps nothing for depreciation.
