Chip, Thanks for the offers.....if I knew then(when I bought my KAs) what I know now, your # would be on speed dial

Here's a few pages from the ACC Operating Cost Report

and as an FYI, Chip's report is wrong, it's much cheaper than that to operate a PC12NG

It does include engine and airframe reserves so your actual maintenance cost will be about 30% of what is shown on the report.

I was actually afraid this one was low... the guy we did it for has contract fuel at $3.50 and didn't want crew salaries included.

His insurance did seem high though...

All I can say is, Chip saved us tens of thousands of dollars on our two transactions with him! Deals all went smoothly and if there was a problem...Chip handled it...I didn't have to worry about it...which is awesome! And not to mention...Chip and his wife Amy are just good people. They opened up their home to me every time I visited Texas to check out the plane or get maintenance done.

I can say with complete confidence, that Chip will save you money and make your aircraft purchasing experience a great one! Check him out if you're looking to buy!!

Thanks Josh!!!

Hey Michael,

If you'll give me some particulars such as how many hours flown per year, insurance cost, hangar cost, and how much you're paying for fuel I'll run a cost report for you and you can see how it compares to your actual.

Chip, actually your numbers look fairly accurate. I'm at 450hrs so far this year in the PC12.
My insurance is way cheaper, by almost a 1/3rd (thanks Tom Hauge) but my hangar costs are way higher, as I have a hangar in Florida and Telluride.

My ballpark for all in looks to be around $800-$900 and my JetA seems to be averaging about $3.20.

Been very pleasantly happy with the airplane. Wish it went 450knots at times though!!

Michael-
You make a brokers job very simple when you fly the wheels off the airplane like you did in the first year of ownership and turbine transition. Makes our negotiation with underwriting carriers very much a simple exercise - companies are tripping over each other to compete for your policy. Well done....
