Hello all
Although I know this has been done before as I have searched the forums. The threads are several years old now, and with the massive increase in fuel prices and various other areas of GA aviation, I was wondering if any current owners could break down the FULL operating costs of operating a Cessna 150/152 or Piper PA 38 aircraft?
I have never owned or been in a share group for an aircraft so have no idea what I am doing if I decide to buy one for hour building and general touring to France. Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
I would like to know all the costs, e.g Insurance, Maintenance, Servicing, Airfield/Hangar fees, Fuel consumption p/h, engine replacement costs etc with a true value operating costs per hour flying wet 100-150 hours a year?
I would appreciate it! I live in Essex, nearest airfield is stapleford, however even they are charging £112 p/h on a C152 (actual hour not tacho) which can mount up for hour building.
Thanks
Aaron
