Bell 206B Jet Ranger and Twin Squirrel running costs
Hi there,
I am doing a research project on the cost of civilian rotary operations; focussing on film / TV and photography; plus power line inspection work.
I wonder if any of you guys could either offer me, or point me in the direction of, a break down of the running costs, per hour - both fixed and variable - for the Bell 206B and Twin Squirrel. It seems to me that these are the most prevalent types, for this sort of work.
So far, I have found a charter company in the UK offering the Bell for 700 GBP + vat; and the Twin Squirrel for 1200 GBP + vat, on an hourly hire rate. Obviously these prices have a profit margin factored in.
I could do with a more detailed break down, if anyone would be kind enough to help me with that.
Many thanks, in anticipation of your help!
