How to read these numbers
All-in monthly is your share of fixed costs (hangar, insurance, annual reserve) plus your flying at the wet rate. True cost per hour spreads those fixed costs across the hours you actually fly — fly more and your effective hourly drops.
A partnership almost always beats renting once you fly a handful of hours a month, and it’s dramatically cheaper than sole ownership because you split the fixed costs. Use the comparison panel to find your break-even against your local club’s rental rate.
