Good one, I'd never heard the term ueconomics before. things I have learned along the way is that owning is more expensive than renting - period! I have been fortunate, my ownership costs have been around $68/hr for a Cherokee 180, but this is not including engine overhaul reserve, aircraft depreciation due to increased TTAF, the new paint job, avionics updates, Knots2U mods, opportunity cost of money, and the countless hours I've spent working on the plane (which I enjoy). No, your ownership costs have been way higher than $68/hours. Your direct operating costs may be $68/hr, but not your ownership costs. Matt
