Jet Ranger Operating Costs?
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. |
