Maintenance/Hangar Costs
I am wondering if somebody out there can give me some real world numbers
on how much their maintenance costs are for a Cessna 340 and 414. I don't care if it has the RAM conversion or not. A good friend of mine is starting a charter company and wants to have numbers to put in the business plan. I am also wondering how much hangar rentals are for the 500 series Cessnas. Thanks Aaron

Maintenance/Hangar Costs
I do not have numbers for you. I do know from real world experience
that the 340 is a high maintenance bird with poor dispatch rates... Almost guaranteed to be down waiting for some unavailable part or other every time a big dollar charter walks in the door... 414's seem to be a bit better and the short haul airlines used them heavily in the past, but I don't have any of them on the field to watch so can't give you a personal estimate... The C-500 series are reliable with good dispatch rates... Slow for a jet and as a result somewhat fuel hogs, though.. One of the more reliable ships I have watched have been the PA-31-T Cheyenne's.. denny

To be honest, I am pretty sure we are going the 414 route since the 340 is pretty narrow. Aaron
