Two Scenarios:

1. Operating Costs for brand new Jet Ranger flying daily.

2. Operating Costs for Mid-time Jet Ranger flying daily.

Other Considerations:

1. Typical pilot salary costs (Commercial Rotorcraft Pilot) with over
2000 hours.

2. Will require hull AND Liability Insurance.

3. Will require hangar.

"The Story"

Company wants a Jet Ranger for daily use/transportation. [NB: Company
is dead set on the JR, so no need to recommend lower-cost
"alternatives"]

Company will also need a full-time pilot. Assuming financing the helo
in both scenarios, what yearly operating costs can be expected to
operate the Jet Ranger plus pilot?

Current "wild ass guess" estimate is $600US per flight hour. Is this
high or low?

Full Disclosu I do not own the company, have no helo experience, and
can only hope to maybe (one day) get a short hop in it (it would make a
nice perk, huh?)

Thanks.
