Thread: looking for advice, those with private jet experience come on in

I am in a similar situation as OP. I would like to ask anyone for their help in operating costs for aircraft.

If 2Props, or anyone else willing to help can e-mail me I would be very thankful.

Im curious as well. I have no plans to get one right now but someday I would and have always wondered what the costs would be.

I like this one: Bombardier Challenger 300 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its says it can hold 16 passengers but then it says "Normally 8." Whats that mean?

Challenger 300's are beautiful aircraft! One of my favorites too. I would say 8 passengers on that jet would be extremely comfortable. Not sure about 16 though.

It may have a custom interior designed to seat 16 though.

I'd only want it to seat 10 or 11

Same here. Just enough room to take the whole family on vacation.

Give me a few days to track down the software and reinstall it on this machine and I'll see what I can dig up.
What specific information are you looking to compare?

I am looking for aircraft operating costs, Not necessarily wanting to compare them, just wanting to compile information.

Maintenance, fuel burn, Pilot salary, range, weight, and anything else that can help me to most accurately figure out the true operating costs. Truthfully I need the information by tomorrow or Tuesday. If you are not too busy and up to the challenge that would be awesome . But if you are not able to get it that quickly then no big deal. I have found a few forms and PDF files on the internet and have started figuring out some of the costs on my own. I am just not sure if they are accurate and current, so it would be nice to compare mine against theirs when you are able to share the results with me.

Unless you know where I live and show up with a bottle of single malt, I'm not likely to make your deadline. Maybe your broker will be able to accommodate. This is the software I use: https://www.conklindd.com//Page.aspx...ion=view&id=33 He'll probably have a copy of it as well. Like I said, I need to find my install DVD and reinstall it on this machine. Otherwise, it will spit out all of what you're looking for.

Are you purchasing or simply poking numbers around for entertainment value?
