Worked Cost Example: Cessna 175

Direct operating cost for a 2-partner group — the most common Cessna 175 arrangement on the registry — flying 100 hours a year between them. These are the costs of running the aircraft, not a club rental rate, which would add a margin on top.

Continental GO-300. 9 gal/hr at $6.75, plus $32k overhaul spread over 1200 hours, plus $11/hr for oil, tyres, brakes and the prop fund. Check them against your own hangar, insurance and shop rates before using them for anything that matters.
