What Your Rental Costs

[dell30rb]

Mooney M20J $155 wet
C172SP 115
Pa-28-161 98
C152 69

All have dual comm and a GTN-650 garmin gps
(except for the 152's)

$60 month dues and $1200 refundable deposit to fly all of them. (deposit comes in steps of $300, each time you put in another $300 you can fly an aircraft higher up in the ladder)

Boerne stage airfield (5C1) However it isn't with a CFI. If you go to airplane camp with Jeanie you two will have to go to T82 for lunch one day and I'll bring it over.

I figured it was solo. That's still a shock to though. I remember a C210N from when I was a kid and we drove past this airport (KMTN) and it'd sit next to the A-10's and it looked cool and expensive.

The pressurized models are 1.5x the costs though so I guess it isn't too hard to believe a 6 pax retract would be that cheap. There was a club in the area that had a 172RG and charged $190/wet solo.

Severe jealousy!!!

That's a rocking deal on the Mooney!

My just went from $158 to $162 wet solo, thus moving into the next bucket in the poll.

That's a pretty hefty lunch jaunt in a 150 or Citabria (248NM)...

The RFC club, as Mike notes above, is a bargain.

Very nice Cherokee 180 is $90.00/wet; Cardinal RG (one helluva fine traveling airplane, nice lookin', 430W-equipped) is still the screamin' bargain at $105.00/wet, and the red-hot F33A Bonanzas are $171.00 and $177.00.

As for what it costs to fly my owned airplane, no way, no how I'm gonna figure *that* up!

Fixed costs fall per hour so it's best to figure it hourly only in months where you fly your butt off.

I clicked the $101-$130 option as the club's C-182P with steam gauges is presently $116.90/hr wet. $89.40/hr wet for our C-172N with the Penn Yan 180 hp upgrade and a GNS-430W in the panel. No current number for the Arrow as it's been a year since I last flew it. Of course, then we have $75/month dues to cover hangars, insurance and other fixed costs, $15 credited if you fly that month.

What should those of us who own put down for our costs?
