Frequently asked questions about the cost
How much does it cost to operate the Piper Turbo Arrow PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV per hour?
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 345 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 255 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 18,000 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).
How much does it cost per year to keep the Piper Turbo Arrow PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV flying 200 hours?
About US$ 69,040 per year (roughly R$ 380,963 at today's exchange rate), of which 74% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 26% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).
How much fuel does the Piper Turbo Arrow PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV burn per hour, in cost?
About US$ 109 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.80 per gallon used in this simulation (reference price, not today's quote). Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.
How much does the Piper Turbo Arrow PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV cost per nautical mile?
About US$ 2.01 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 172 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.
