carusoam Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I must be having a tough day... 0) Listing the CFII covers him at the same cost while covering me and the plane... I hope. 1) I named CFIIs for transition training and some get back in the saddle training a couple years later... 2) the better price came after the first year, IR, and 100 hours of flight in the O. 3) sole owner. 4) first year expenses that need to be adsorbed... - Plane acquisition, travel to visit it twice during the purchase. - PPI, title search, loan closing - Transition training and delivery flight - insurance normal rate + about 1 AMU extra for low time in Make and model... 5) math oddities... - it doesn't cost much more to insure the long body than the short body. A bad day of flying can hurt four expensive people in either one... - it doesn't cost any more to hangar a long body. - it doesn't cost much more to annual a long body. 6) operating costs of a long body are slightly higher. When measuring nmpg. The long body can be very fast, but it can also be flown very efficiently... I need to be more efficient... 7) the big difference is mostly the capital required to get the long body. And the inevitable OH... 8) I used the short body for comparison because that was my first Mooney. In some respects they are quite similar. Hope that helps anyone considering moving up the Mooney ladder... Best regards, -a- Edited March 18, 2017 by carusoam 2 Quote
