Hi,
Dreaming about owning a acft. Looking at 70s something Warrior II with 3 to 4 others. I've had a quick look on the web, but couldn't find anything that suits. Does anyone have a comprehensive spreadsheet for calculating ownership costs, you know where you put in fuel, hangarage, engine reserve, maint reserve, upgrade reserve, insurance etc etc so I can get a feel for the rtue operating costs. Here in OZ (YSCB - the nation's capital) the cheapest (and only aircraft hired by other than Brindabella Airlines - expensive and opressive currency requirements, but they are the only game in town) is a C172N hired by Canberra Aeroclub at $167/hr wet. All the other flight schools/hiring establishments have closed down, so much for the future of GA. This acft is being sold so that the club can leaseback one or two LSA type aircraft at a cheaper rate (we'll see). The next available aircraft is at YGLB which is a round trip of almost 3 hours ($160 for a Warrior II). It makes an hour of circuits into an almost 5 hour excursion ![]() It is now looking like owning your own aircraft might actually be a better option than hiring. Any help appreciated. Cheers, Kevin |
