Frequently asked questions about the cost

How much does it cost to operate the Pilatus PC-12 NGX per hour?

Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 2,364 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 1,099 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 253,100 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).

How much does it cost per year to keep the Pilatus PC-12 NGX flying 200 hours?

About US$ 472,893 per year (roughly R$ 2,637,090 at today's exchange rate), of which 46% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 54% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).

How much fuel does the Pilatus PC-12 NGX burn per hour, in cost?

About US$ 431 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.24 per gallon used in this simulation. Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.

How much does the Pilatus PC-12 NGX cost per nautical mile?

About US$ 8.15 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 290 kt. It is the right metric to compare aircraft of different speeds on the same route.

What is the difference between variable and fixed cost?

Variable cost only exists when the aircraft flies: fuel, engine program, hourly maintenance reserves and landing fees. Fixed cost exists even with the aircraft in the hangar: crew, hangarage, insurance, training and subscriptions. That is why total cost per hour falls the more hours per year the aircraft flies.
