Hey all,
I am looking at purchasing my first Retract, Variable Pitch prop airplane and I am looking for feedback in regards to operating cost...
I live in Canada and will do a lot of Mountain Flying (Rocky Mountains) and was wondering what the true, average operating cost is for a Mooney or Similar.
I've already got my insurance quote which came in at just under CAN$1700/year. Not bad considering all my 300Hr TT is in a Cessna 172..., The quote is subject to 10hr of dual instructions...
I am curious on additional cost... Annual, Engine Reserve, 100hr inspections, etc...
Has anyone experience in operating one out of a grass strip?
Mountain Flying?
I am interested in some current data, not something from 5, 10 or more years ago...
Thanks in advance.
Andreas
