Subject: Cessna 340 $/hr

Question
I am looking for the price per hour for a Cessna 340 dry or wet??

Answer
Peggy

If you are looking for a RENTAL/CHARTER costs, the hourly rate would depend on the company renting the aircraft and what they include with that price. A quick scan of the net turns up charter rental rates in the neighborhood of $500-$625 per hour:

If you are interested in renting it without a crew (not as a charter) and fly it yourself, I have never personally seen any hourly rental rates (wet or dry) for the Cessna 340. Insurance on this type of aircraft makes it generally cost prohibitive to make it available as an hourly rental. If you are interested in leasing one, you may find more options.

That said, the hourly OPERATING costs for a Cessna 340 are estimated to be about $240 per hour: http://www.planequest.com/operationcosts/op_cost_info.asp?id=57

Hope this helps
Dottie
