A small general get millions of yuan, a year maintenance cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, take a “license” to need 100 thousand yuan, overhaul a secondary 1 million yuan, technical requirements are high, the risk is big, restrictions are very much.
So?
As mechanical “smart birds”, private planes are expensive to maintain.
A Robinson R-44 helicopter, on average, only flies for an hour a day, a year maintenance costs 400,000 yuan.
There is also a big bill, don’t forget to calculate, the plane flight about 400,000 to 1 million kilometers to overhaul the engine, the cost is more than 1 million yuan.
In addition, flying a plane needs to spend nearly 100,000 yuan in learning fees to get a “license.”
Even if a multimillionaire is willing to buy a plane for fun, there is no way in any country that a plane can be as free as a car on the road.
Buying a plane requires preparing a lot of information, such as feasibility report, no criminal record certificate, pilot cadet certificate and so on.
There are many “barriers” to flying a plane: applying for airworthiness certificates, nationality registration certificates and radio licenses;
Apply for maintenance personnel license and maintenance permit;
Request routes and times, airspace, etc.
