Hi guys,

can anyone of you give me some reliable information about the operating costs of a piston powered Beaver on straight floats ?
(approx. 400 hours per year)

Also information about the maintenance expenditures or any else information about operating a such plane are interesting to me.

Feel free and contact me via PM also.

Thank you in advance!

So many variables.. What are you starting with? What kind of snags are you willing to operate with? Who's doing your maintenance? Is it contract or do you have your own engineer? What kind of flying do you do?

If you want, pm me with the answers and I'll try to help..

Cheers..
