I have the obvious
purchase price
hangar / pad
oil
fuel
50 hour check (what is the rough cost)
Arc /Annual (again rough cost)
insurance (rough cost on say a £30,000 aircraft)
Am i missing anything else? i want to make sure i have enough in a personal engine fund and what cost per hour do i charge myself.
its a minefield. any advice or help
