  • Range up to 500nm (typically 2-300nm)
  • Operating from Bankstown
  • IFR
  • Stable A/C for consultants to work in - Wx permitting
  • Room to work in cabin for Pax (I like the club seating)
  • No more than 2 pax, generally 1
  • Occasional station strips
  • I am taking mainly middle aged women consultants, so I don’t think an Arrow or even a 210 will sit too well.
  • The consultants being carried charge out @$160/hr+ so speed is a consideration.
  • Will I need to fly in the FL’s to minimize cancelled trips and avoid icing in winter?
  • Given an estimated 30% of night ops, esp in winter, is a twin a consideration?
  • Which A/C offer a good speed vs operating cost ratio

I am thinking <$500/hr either operating or rental.
All the above … and less than $500 per hour?

And that is a Private operation? I would have thought at minimum it was Aerial Work but more likely Air Charter?
