How much does it cost to maintain a job as a small Cessna air? I would like to know how much insurance would be for a new driver and a parking space for a small plane in a small airport? I do not need an exact price? Just a rough idea Thanks.
The dream of every new pilot project is to own their own aircraft. There is no simple answer here, and all these factors must be studied thoroughly before making a decision on buying your own plane.
The biggest single cost of owning a small private plane maintenance. This includes maintenance of the aircraft in specific locations (usually 25, 50 and 100 flight hours) intervals, and the annual inspection. The annual maintenance is complete and Inspection Service requires the dismantling and inspection of major components in the plane of the wear and / or damage. This inspection is performed by a licensed A & P mechanic responsible for the inspection, and depending on the aircraft, the costs can be several thousand dollars. It will also take the plane out of service for several weeks during the inspection.
Insurance also varies by aircraft type and level of pilot experience.
Some smaller airports will allow you to attach your plane down on the ramp for as little as $ 25 per month, but if you want to keep him inside where it is protected from vandalism and weather damage It could cost several hundred a month to rent a hangar.
Of course, there are the actual operating costs of aircraft flight. With Avgas running as high as $ 3-4 per gallon (If I remember correctly, a Cessna 172 burns about 10 gallons per hour) and the oil will not geting any cheaper ... every hour you are traveling will cost you $ $ $

cost plan between 7 and 10 miles per year
One customer bought a C-152 and I think he pays about $ 1,700 per year in insurance, but it still does not have his license suspended depends on the area, my rent hangar at airport $ 65 per month, which is extremely cheap, owner of an aircraft is not cheap. But if you plan to buy a plane Please! a trusted mechanic do a prepurchase inspection before purchase. Many people out there buy a plane and then put it in our shop only to find it needs thousands of dollars in repairs. It will cost several hundred dollars for a pre-purchase inspection usually paid by the buyer, but worth it.
Let me give you an example, we had a potential buyer to inspect a Cessna 210 that had just been repainted and the engine was fine checked OK, but looking closer there was a crack in the rear spar of the left wing, all external damage were cleverly covered with Bondo and paint. This repair will cost about $ 4,000 - $ 6,000 to replace the spar. A cost that the buyer does not pay thanks to a good pre-purchase inspection.

A package! On a Piper Cherokee Six 1969 (a little larger than the base but still a Cessna single-engine plane of the proposal) my expenses are divided approximately as follows:
Fixed costs: insurance 1600 / yr $ Hanger Rent - $ 1740/yr, the annual inspection - $ 1000/yr
Variable Cost: Fuel 50/flight $ h (14.5 gph at $ 3.37/gal)
So, it would be to fly 100hrs/yr approximately $ 9340/yr, or about $ 780/month.
A small Cessna (152 or 172) should be a little less.
