Hello, well is getting more expensive than ever.... now rates running at around $250/h+ BUT there is a place in Melbourne (Moorabbin) where a PA28-180 cost $220/h wet or $160 dry, casual hiring or they sell block hours from $110/h dry rate for 100 hours block. Still adding fuel will be around $180/h wet which I think is pretty good. I think 2-3 pilots can share the 100 hours block and save a fortune. Have a look for hour building Australia and let us know what you think. If you willing to share a package with me, please let me know. Cheers
