R22 Time Building

[Doug D]

Any time-builders out there have interest in R22 time building at $175/hr wet with CFI? How many hours would you be willing to fly? What about at $150/hr? Night, cross country, its all good.

so really this post should be about how much of a rip-off the per hour cost charged to students is.

 

uh, will you fly this helicopter for 250.... no... ok how bout 175.. no.. ok how bout 150!

meh Idk one school had a similar program but the price didn't lower to 150 till after you had completed through CFI on the regular 250 price

Its called "economies of scale"....All I can say is I wish someone would have offered me cheap time building when I was a student.

Nobody can sustain flying an R22 and selling time for $150, unless you are also getting paid to do other things, like photo flights. I know what it costs for insurance and inspections and interest and fuel and breakdowns and.......it just doesnt work long term under 200, and if you have overhead to pay you best be at 250 or so.

 

There is not a rip off at 90% of schools, just math.

 

My nickel,

It is also possible that he is a private owner looking to fly while having someone else pay the direct operating costs.

I'd be interested in a good amount of time building.. the $150 number sounds pretty damn tempting to me,... I am from the PA Area and would be willing to make a week trip, or few weekends if the price was worth it! can you private message me??

Thanks

I agree! Then just one little unforeseen problem will eat up what little profit you've made!!
