Running An Aircraft
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me.
What are the cost involved are in running a 8 - 12 seater aircraft, so either heavy piston or turbine. Ive had a few thoughts but i was wondering what i was missing. Firstly theres the aircraft itself. Either you can lease it, or buy it. Assuming you arent a rich, then some sort of morgage type arrangement would be in order. The only other costs i could thing of were, in no order, -maintenance -fuel -oli -insurance -salaries of pilots/operations -landing fees, parking or hangarage -euro charges(incidently, how are they worked out? As far as i know, you pay them if your IFR and more that 2000kg in weight) -paperwork, ie aerads/jeppesans, aips etc -the AOC, once you have this, do you have to pay to keep it? -putting money away to pay for engine overhauls or replacements, if its a piston. What else am i missing? Would i be right in saying, after calculating all of this for a year, you divide it by the number of hours you expect to fly, and thats your cost per hour? |
