Helicopter Price per Hour

Typically a (US) lightweight helicopter such as a Bell 407 or an AA350 with a sole pilots and no specific gear would perhaps run $1,500-2,000 +/- one hour if you charters it, but the firm that own it must operate it for at least 500 prepaid maneuvers per year to make it worth the money because of the associated fix cost per year.

When there are fewer lessons, the price per lesson increases. The EMS helicopter works according to a totally different formula with much higher fix cost, more personnel, less working time and much more specialized gear. That price seems impudent to me, too.

He said there are nearly 90 choppers involved in aid efforts, and everyone flies over eight and a half hour a day. What's more, the helicopter is a great help to the people. A helicopter in an emergency or emergency situation consumes 600 to 800 liters of gasoline per hour, i.e. 6,400 liters for eight flights. The 90 choppers consume an annual mean of 5,582,400 liters of gasoline per capita.

Governments have also paid the high cost of refueling all the fixed-wing wing pilots who bring aid, the spokesperson said. That is the consumption of fuels of helicopters and all rigid-wing planes from Chaklala Airport. In addition, we supplied spare parts for choppers such as the Afghan MI-17, for which the new rear wheel had to be exchanged.

Americans have brought their own spare parts for their Chinook and other helicopters," Mr. Sultan said. The information obtained shows that in comparison to fixed-wing aeroplanes, a helicopter is considerably more costly to service. With the exception of the carcass ( "grenade"), all parts of the helicopter are moving. "A helicopter needs new parts after 100 to 500 flying hour and without new parts it is not permitted to fly," says one well.

At present, the highest priorities are the fulfilment of the demands of all aircrafts involved in the assistance measures. Among the Pakistani choppers involved in the mission were 16 MI-17, three Puma, ten Bell-412, two Y-12, two Sea King (Navy) and eight Aloutte. We had 22 Allies, 12 from the USA, two from Germany, two from Saudi Arabia and four from Afghanistan MI-17.

There were also 18 different choppers, among them three from the International Committee of the Red Cross, three Japanese, two Latvians, two from the United Nations, four AB-139 from the Aga Khan Foundation, two Kamove from France and one Bell-212 from the UAE. In the last 16 and a half months, the helicopter fleets of Pakistan i and the Allies flew 2,715 flying hour and 13,651 evacuating victims.
