About HobbsHour
HobbsHour answers one question for people thinking about buying a light airplane: what will it really cost per hour I fly?
Most ownership cost figures online are either a single number with no source or a sales pitch for a charter service. HobbsHour shows the whole calculation instead: each cost line, a low, typical and high case, the source behind every number, and the date it was last checked.
The site is independent. It is not affiliated with any aircraft, engine, avionics or insurance company, and no company pays to change a figure. The site is supported by advertising. If that ever extends to referral links, they will be labeled where they appear.
Model names such as Cessna, Piper, Cirrus and Lycoming are trademarks of their owners and are used here only to identify the aircraft and engines described.
