Re: Estimating Direct Operational Cost of Rotax 912
by john gunn » 4 years ago
... So Faisal, you & we, have been given some good info above, so I am eager to see you solve your question & the resulting computation how much our engines are typically costing us per operating hour up to 2000.
@ 75 hrs/yr, (26.5 yrs) you'd have 5 rubber change outs + 3 gearbox overhauls + 10 200 hr insps.
Dont forget too; petrol ~ 4 g / hr @ 3.5/g ; 14/ hr
Annual insp; ~ 250- 800 (usually the higher #) at 75 hrs/yr ; 10.- / hr
It is imperative this computation not be seen by our spouses! Definitely not cheap, but once our work is done, life is meant to be enjoyed and you cant take it w/ you !

"Dont forget too; petrol ~ 4 g / hr @ 3.5/g ; 14/ hr"
$14x2000=$28,000, more than the cost of a new engine and other consumables combined.
Actually, my fuel is only costing $2.6/g right now...
