As usual, much talking, few real numbers.
What about a short survey to collect figures?
Such as:
Aircraft (Type) # figures drawn from x hours total # flight hours per year # operational cost per hour (only direct related to flying) # total cost per hour (including replacements & upgrades) # depreciation purchase price over x years # bought new or used # registered
- C172 MOGAS # 250h TCO # 126h p.a. # 117 EUR/h # 166 EUR/h # 10y # used # D-E reg
