S-76C or C+ maintenance reserves ?

[aseanaero]

Can anyone give me an estimate or point me in the right direction for an online summary of the maintenance reserves of the S-76C or C+ ?

Maintenance reserves? Not sure what you mean, do you mean extensions to scheduled maintenance?

Hi Bluesafari,

Cost per hour for the overhaul and replacement of life limited major components such as engines , gearboxes , main and tail rotor blades etc.

For example if cost of a component $250,000 divide by TBO 5,000 hrs = $50 per hour

Gut feeling is replacement and overhaul allowance costs per hour for all major components is going to be approx $1,000 for the S-76C+

I may have to do it the hard way which is checking the price and TBO of major components but I was hoping there maybe an approximate summary somewhere on line.

Doing a quick and dirty feasability for a meeting early next week to see if we put more effort into this proposal or just walk away.

Maybe you should aim a bit higher.

Old figures but maybe you can escalate to come to 2009.
