Annual and ARC revalidation Costs
I have just had the above completed on a Piper Arrow and the invoice has come in as at below - it seems steep but this is my first ARC revalidation & annual can others compare their costs?
Annual £1360
ARC Revalidation £340
CAA FEE £80
Annual Technical Library £30
CAA/LAMP Schedule £7.5
total £1, 817.5 ex VAt
Does not include any defect work

If only
Romydog, my last one, May17th 2008, came to, wait for it, £11,703.42. 
The previous they managed £5350.00. I would think yourself extremely fortunate. The characters who managed the 'big one' charged me 40 hours at £65.00 per hour. They then attempted 44 hours to fit 'wing bolts', and added a further large amount of hours for 'rig check'. I am still arguing the toss. It is a major gripe of mine - 'fair maintenace charges'.

"4o hours are charged for the annual" That seems fair enough, I've wondered why the aircraft I fly goes for annual and its not unusual for it to take 3 weeks, when nothing other than routine work needs doing, I'm not privey to the cost though.

<< Is this a racket or what? How is it that permit aircraft stays in the air for less than 10% of this cost? >>
Because we permit pilots (and some C of A pilots with engineering qualifications) do our own maintenance.
