How to Use the

Operating Costs Guide

A benchmarking tool to help flight department managers
draft and analyze budgets for the coming year
ircraft operating costs are
presented in a format that
separates the data into seven
separate areas: Mission Costs,
Variable Costs, Fixed Annual Costs,
Periodic Costs, Personnel Costs, Training Costs and Facilities Costs.

are 1,000 nm, 3,000 nm and 6,000 nm.

The fuel expense shown for each mission is based on the fuel burn figure
for that mission, computed under conditions shown in the May Handbook.
Missions are calculated utilizing a
manufacturer recommended cruise
setting; therefore, cruise settings may

vary from aircraft to aircraft, i.e. max

cruise versus long range. Where the
aircraft cannot cover the mission distance with an 800-lb. (four-passenger) payload, B&CA shows a reduction
in payload or a reduction in mission
length at the editors option.

Aircraft Category
Aircraft are grouped into six categories reflecting similarity of aircraft
size, mission and operations. Category
1 aircraft are turboprops weighing less
than 12,500 lb. and very light jets less
than 10,000 lb.; Category 2 are multiengine turboprops 12,500 lb. or more and
light jets 10,000 to 19,999 lb.; Category
3 aircraft are jets 20,000 to 29,999 lb.;
Category 4 are jets weighing 30,000
to 40,999 lb.; Category 5 are jets
41,000 lb. and up; and Category 6 are
ultra-long-range jets with NBAA IFR
range above 6,000 nm. Certain data
are common to all aircraft in a category, including Miscellaneous Trip
Expense, Miscellaneous Services,
the Modernization/Modification/Upgrade allowance, annual Hangar/Office Lease Expense and Miscellaneous
Office Expense.

B&CA Equipped Price

This number is taken from the May
2015 Purchase Planning Handbook and
reflects B&CA-equipped, completed
aircraft. Aircraft Bluebook prices are
used for out-of-production aircraft
and reflect average prices for a midtime aircraft. The listed price is based
on the latest model produced, with the
price year in parentheses.

Mission Costs
Mission Costs are computed based on
the business aircraft missions shown
in the May Handbook. Three missions
are shown for each aircraft: 300 nm,
600 nm and 1,000 nm. Ultra-longrange aircraft (Category 6) missions

miscellaneous costs from the Variable Costs section of this Guide, apportioned according to the actual flight
time for the listed mission.
Per-Mile Cost: Per-Mile Cost divides
the Direct Cost by the mission distance.

Variable Costs (Hourly)

These are expenses that are directly
related to operation of the aircraft and
are reported as an hourly cost figure.
Included are Fuel Expense, Maintenance Labor Expense, Parts Expense
and Miscellaneous Trip Expense.
The basis for the figure reported is

actual operator experience compiled

by Aviation Research Group/U.S. if
the aircraft is out-of-production. In the
instance of an in-production aircraft
with warranty remaining, the figure is
based on manufacturer estimates with
warranty effect included unless noted
otherwise.
Variable Costs are hourly figures
and are based on average utilizations
and stage lengths, which are determined for each category of aircraft.
The resulting Aircraft Utilization
table, included as part of the Operations Planning Guide, is derived from
operator experience, tracked by Aviation Research Group/U.S., and breaks
utilization down by Category, Annual Flight Hours and Average Stage
Length.
Fuel E xpense: The hourly
fuel expense shown is based
on average hourly fuel consumption for an aircraft and
the nationwide average price
of $5.25 per gallon for Jet-A
at press time. The hourly fuel
expense is figured utilizing
the fuel consumption numbers for the aircraft missions
that were computed for the
May Handbook. Category 1 aircraft utilize the 300-nm fuel
consumption figure to compute the average hourly fuel
expense. Categories 2, 3 and
4 aircraft utilize the 600-nm
fuel consumption f igure to
compute the average hourly
fuel expense. Categories 5 and
6 aircraft utilize the 1,000-nm
fuel consumption f igure to
compute the average hourly
fuel expense. The fuel consumption figure accounts for
taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent and landing for a 300-,
600- or 1,000-nm mission as
appropriate for the aircraft
category. (Note: Longer missions will lower average hourly
fuel burns due to more time
in cruise; conversely, shorter
missions will increase average
hourly fuel burn figures since
proportionally more time is
spent in the takeoff and climb
phase rather than cruise.)
Maintenance Hours/Flight
Hour (in-production aircraft): A
manufacturer-supplied ratio of
maintenance hours per flight
hour. The number reflects an

average for the first five years of operation while under warranty (scheduled maintenance and consumable
items), and unscheduled maintenance
for any period not covered under warranty. Engine restoration and APU
restoration (where applicable) are not
included in this ratio.
Service Center Maintenance Expense
(in-production aircraft): This hourly
expense is computed by multiplying
the Maintenance Hours/Flight Hour
ratio by the nationwide average service center hourly maintenance labor
cost (Category 1: $95/hr.; Category 2:
$100/hr.; Category 3: @100/hr.; Category 4: $105/hr.; Category 5: $110/hr.;
Category 6: $110/hr.).
Maintenance Labor Expense (out-ofproduction aircraft): This hourly figure
is perhaps the single most difficult
number to derive, and there is significant room for variability from one operation to another. The figure shown
for an aircraft is derived from actual
reported operator experience compiled
by Aviation Research Group/U.S. and
includes both external maintenance
charges and a flight departments internal maintenance capability. It reflects
both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activity.
Some operators who have no inside
maintenance capability may report
lower maintenance labor expenses
than the hourly average shown. Others who choose to rely on an inside
maintenance capability for reasons of
control and availability might report
significantly higher maintenance labor numbers than those shown in the
charts. Maintenance labor figures
shown for an aircraft model reflect
an average hourly cost over five years.
Engine restoration and APU restoration (where applicable) are not
included in this cost.
Parts Expense (in-production aircraft):
This hourly expense is derived from
model-specific manufacturer quotes
and includes parts expenses for the
airframe, engines, avionics and consumables (oil, hydraulic fluid, etc.).
Production aircraft parts expense is
an average expense with warranty of
the first five years of operation and
includes scheduled, unscheduled and
consumable items. Engine restoration
parts expense and APU restoration
parts expense (where applicable) are
not included in this cost.
Parts Expense (out-of-production aircraft): This hourly expense is derived

Engine Overhaul (in-production aircraft): This figure is based on engine
OEM quotes unless noted otherwise
and also assumes a routine overhaul. The engine overhaul will normally be accomplished by the TBO or
CZI interval.
Engine Overhaul (out-of-production
aircraft): This figure is based on shop

indicates a TBO while a c indicates
a compressor zone inspection, as appropriate for the particular engine.
If an engine can be maintained in an

Paint: This is an average cost figure
for an aircraft model and is based on
quotes from paint shops for a twocolor paint scheme that includes
stripping the old paint and basic surface preparation. Any requirement
for additional surface preparation or
a highly customized paint scheme
would require the paint cost to be adjusted higher.
Interior Refurbishment: Again, this
is an average cost and is based on
interior shop quotes for a basic replacement of soft goods like carpet
and upholstery, and headliners, etc.
Any customization in interior work,
to include new seating, cabinetry and
cabin electronics, can drive this cost
up significantly and are not included
in the basic interior refurbishment

Personnel Costs
Personnel costs represent captain
and first officer salaries not including
benefits. The figures are based on a
nationwide average of quotes taken
from aircraft operators.

Training
Aircraft-specific training expenses
are shown per-pilot and maintenance
technician. The figures are average
costs based on quotes from aircraft
training suppliers.

Maintenance Initial: This estimated
cost is per-technician and includes initial maintenance training on an aircraft model.

Facilities
The two areas of expenses shown here
are based on national average annual
costs reported by flight departments
compiled and analyzed by Aviation Research Group/U.S. The figures shown
in each cost area are broken down by
the six aircraft categories and will be
the same for all aircraft of a particular
category.
Hangar/Office Lease: This figure is an
annual cost per aircraft and includes
hangar and office rent as well as additional facilities costs such as utilities,
ground upkeep, snow removal, janitorial service and insurance (other than
aircraft insurance).
For more than one aircraft, it is
valid to multiply the figure by the
number of aircraft to arrive at a total
flight department cost. Actual rental
costs will vary widely from area to
area. It is an average expense and is
the same for all aircraft in a category.
Miscellaneous Office Expense: This
figure is reported by operators by
