C172 Still In Production After 60 Years.
What would the charge out costs be?
It suddenly makes a flying school using a couple of Jabby's a better sounding proposition.
Aussie Bob, by the time you had finance, engineering costs, rent, wages, insurance, landing fees, plus 101 other fees, taxes and charges, manuals and at least ten safety vests, why would you want to run a flight school?
CASA need to drug test asap.

For this I was thinking of having dry hire to a already established flying school simply to use less variable numbers.
Anyone with numbers of those rates and yes number of hours reasonable done a year.
(the idea is to see if a company owner could purchase 2 aircraft using one sparingly and depreciate both to a very low $ value and then selling the low time one to himself at the depreciated value say $50,000 - how long would that take)

You'd be better off buying four M models, preferably with at least one with 180hp conversion, refurbish two, make shine for school, use the other for self and one for parts.
I owned and flew several through to the N model, flying school and charter. My first was a '65 F model. Those early ones were light and much better cross-wind landing especially with no wheel covers, they had no cuffed wing leading edge and a much smaller fin strake. Latrobe Valley Aero Club had M models for years and were still in service after twelve thousand hours or more. I'd pass the late '80s models, after the ten year production hiatus, they had 10 underwing fuel drains, what a pain.
