Step 1: Be rich.

@brettgerber795 Жыл бұрын

Lol Being rich helps. But really you don’t have to be. Depends on priorities. If you have a passion, you find a way. I’m far from rich but I also built my own plane. Seats my wife, 3 kids and myself and cruise 145 knots all under $18,000. I don’t own a fancy car though.

Flying is not that dangerous as long to as one is responsible and takes it seriously. I just had a solo flight today where I flew the plane over 50 miles to another airport, and everything went well. At the end of the day, everything in life bears some level of risk, and personally, I feel safer in the plane where I have a much greater level of control, compared to the road where one is often at the mercy of other driver’s decisions. I can’t control if someone chooses to drive under the influence or while texting, but aviation is very structured and professional and a highly controlled environment.

1 - Insurance $$$$$!!!! 2 - Hangar/ storage 3 - Fuel - Avgas 100LL is currently over $6 per gal. 4 - Yearly annual inspections are $2000 +++. None of this includes ramp fees or rental vehicles to drive when you reach your intended destination. The way to effectively own a small aircraft is through your business so all your costs are in written off on your business.

Hangar fees, insurance, annual inspections -- all of those happen whether the airplane leaves the ground or not. Then there are the ADs, expendables like oil, filters, and tires, and the stuff you don't count on like the rock chip in the piston of your nose gear strut that shreds the seal and causes all the fluid to drain out. Crack in the fuel pump? Yeah, that one's a party, too. Audio panel goes on the fritz? They don't give those away for Christmas, either. After I owned the airplane free and clear, I averaged three years of expenses, and came up with $695/month just to have the thing sit outside on the ramp, NOT counting laying money aside for replacement of timed-life components like props and engines. I dearly LOVED my Hawk XP with the 210hp STC, but in the 2006 economy, with a house under construction, I just couldn't justify it. Man, I miss that airplane... but not the associated worries and expenses.

@cduemig1 10 ай бұрын

It’s fairly difficult. Flying the plane isn’t terribly hard, landing is usually the difficult part of flying. The hardest parts are navigating and all the random knowledge you need to learn. Certainly not impossible but I’m a fairly smart guy and I’ve had to study quite a bit. The cost does vary by area. Flight schools can charge whatever they want so congested areas like mine near Chicago are fairly expensive. I also can’t train close because I’m near O’Hare airport and there’s airspace we’re not allowed to fly so you need to travel either by car or plane a little bit to get to a practice area. I choose to drive 45 minutes away so I’m driving instead of paying airplane rental rates for the time.
