Metro liner

[fix it]

Hello,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question, I am looking for the D.O.C's for a metro-liner 2 / 3 and the engine and prop TBO times fuel burn just about everything except hanger, parking, and crew costs, any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

just about everything except... crew costs

hmmm... to my way of thinking, crew costs are definitely an important part of any DOC evaluation.

Hi,
I know what the crew are getting paid and the insurance costs, also parking hangarage is all covered, what I need is fuel burn, maintenance TBO,HSI times, just pure aircraft information not staff and other incidentals. Also anyones opinion on the aircraft as a cargo work horse.

Regards

i am curious to know if you had many comments after posting these on seveal boards?

Just curious if you had numbers

I'd be surprised if he gets any realistic response, especially without providing the engine and airframe models and combinations.

Piston engine and PT6 powered GA aircraft DOCs are relatively predictable. There are way too many cost variables with Garrett/Honeywell TPE331 engines and Metro airframes.

Can't recall any Metro operators revealing their operating costs.

$2mill a month dry lease costs.......

2mil a month dry, i believe strongly that the skippers/mac air ones for sale were going for around 2.4 down to about 1.8 mil each.

I suspect the figures you have are very wrong.

[startingout]

what does a B1900D cost, i think it is around USD4mil used if say buying ex-american ones.

fixit, pm me and i will be able to send you some useful notes on the metro both III and 23

[Skystar320]

gwd people, cause I am bloody kidding with my lease costs [scarcasm is the lowest kind of wit]

If I want to be a spoil sport

BAe 32EP: US$25k dry
Metro 23 ; US$35k dry
Dash 8-100; US$38k
ATR42-300; US$44k

And of course this depend's on so many factors
