I run my own aircraft, a Permit to Fly Jodel from a farm strip. I do my own maintenance and use the services of an LAA Inspector to sign it off. His cost is a pint of beer and £30
I fly around 100hrs a year and with everything included, it works out at £83.92 per hour. I could reduce this by using MOGAS or shopping around for cheaper AVGAS (I pay £2.24 a litre from my local airfield!!!)
If I did 75hrs/year, the cost would be £94.17 per hour
However, I have no ongoing engine fund and would have to stump up the cost of an overhaul if necessary.
