In our first year of flying we flew 200 hours. Last year we flew 250
hours. I have costed out everything including full hull insurance,
permit, all maintenance, fuel and oil. (we trailer the aircraft home
after each flight so no field/hangarage charges).
In total it costs us 14.00 per hour!!! :-)
This does not include any landing fees, but does include the high cost
of fuel in the UK which is typically around 0.75 per litre.
