Maintenance costs of an aircraft

In the following, we would like to use the example of a Cessna 172 stationed at a German aerodrome to illustrate the approximate maintenance costs of an aircraft.

In the near future, you will be able to adjust the values given according to your needs in order to calculate the costs that best suit your situation. We will add more calculation modules over time.

Annual fixed costs (gross)

-> Thus about 750 € per month <-

Variable costs per flight hour (gross)

Fuel costs (example with MoGas at a price of €2.30/litre)
Engine oil costs
Maintenance work (depending on 50, 100, 200h)
Provisions for propellers
Provisions for engine
Provisions for unscheduled repairs

Fuel costs (example with MoGas at a price of €2.30/litre)
~ 72 € (with a consumption of 35 litres/hour)
Engine oil costs
~ 3 €
Maintenance work (depending on 50, 100, 200h)
~ 50 € (at about 2,000-3,000 € per maintenance)
Provisions for propellers
~ 1 € (assuming a maximum running time of 5,000 h)
Provisions for engine
~ 28 € (assuming a maximum running time of 1,800 h)
Provisions for unscheduled repairs
~ 15 €

-> Thus per flight hour about 169 € <-
