Aircraft Operating Costs
Hi there,
I've been provided with these numbers from Cirrus SR-20 and would like to get some comparisons of the real operating costs from Cirrus or other aircraft owners (different models okay, just looking at Cirrus)
1. Direct costs/hr
Fuel £40.67
Oil £0.80
Scheduled Maintenance £9.03
Unscheduled Maintenance £2.10
Engine Provision £5.62
Per hour £58.22
2. Indirect Costs/annual
Parking £1,200.00
Insurance £3,150.00
Maintenance £1,500.00
Propeller Inspection£125.00
CAA FEE £185.00
Total £6,160.00
Assumptions
Fuel cost/ltr £0.98 Fuel Burn Lt 41.5
Oil cost/lt £3.20 $=£ 1.85
Maint cost Labour £42.00 per man hr
Parts £1.50 per flt hr
How does this compare to actuals or for other a/c?

For a new plane in that class, sounds reasonable. Comments:
Fuel has gone up a bit.
Prop fund £3/hour.
Parking at £1200 likely assumes grass, outdoors. This will depreciate any nice plane rapidly. You will be better off spending £3000/year plus on hangarage; you will get that money back on "unscheduled" avionics maintenance alone.
The insurance seems OK for a few named pilots, hull value £150k+, zero claim record over a few years.
A TB20 would be very similar.
Once a plane goes past say 10 years, the "unscheduled" costs will rocket. But then you saved a bit when buying it in the first place, so you have plenty in the bank to pay for repairs
Basically, that is the deal in new v. old.

IO540, i relocated to the north near York and we pay only £85/month for hangerage and its a shiney new one, the old one is full
Nice club and superb scenery. Only draw back is the 145Nm to LAM before your on track for a Euro jaint, unless you fancy 200Nm water crossing
not on one engine!

Yes but you are somewhere way up norff where the sun doesn't shine very much
£300/month plus plus is the going rate for hangarage at any airfield in the "far south". Even that doesn't cover the ground rent and council tax on the floorspace used.
