How much have ALL of your hours cost?

I like polls so I'm curious how much money has been spent in order for you to have the hours you do.

This basically is the hourly cost to fly all the airplanes you've ever flown. The hourly fixed costs with the variable costs. And I'm not asking for the amount only YOU have paid, but what EVERYONE has paid.

ex: If you fly a 172 1000 hours, it's probably costs between 80,000-100,000 dollars. Regardless of whether you paid for all or any of that.

JUST GIVE A BALL PARK! If you can calculate it to the dollar cool, but I doubt the airline pilots can do that. I do hope you guys have an idea what the airline pays per hour.

Oh yeah and don't include your pilot pay either.

Not that anyone cares, but if you have some astronomical $$$$$ in you logbook give a couple figures to explain.

I have about 1200 hours and calculated my time to be worth about $350,000. One more reason not to lose your logbook! :D
 
i dont understand how you can put a value on the time in your logbook. if most of your hours are acquired while working, i guess you could say that your hours are worth what you were getting paid to fly. if your just flying for fun and renting/buying airplanes i guess the question would make sense.
 
I think he means the cost of the hours, as in if you were flying a plane that costs several hundred dollars per hour to operated...

maybe?
 
As I tried to explain above, just try to figure the hourly cost of whatever airplane you fly. EX: If a learjet cost $3000/hr or somthing like that and you've flown 1000 hours in a lear, than that time is worth about 3 million. If you don't know what the plane you fly costs to operate, just estimate.

The value you attach to you're logbook is purely personal. This is just one way I imagine you can do it.

DON"T include you're salary or hourly rate to fly it.
