Maintenance & Operating Costs

750XL-II Maintenance

Maintenance & Operating Costs

The P-750 XSTOL is designed and manufactured with ease of maintenance in mind.  The maintenance cycle is every 150 hours or 1,500 landings, whichever occurs first.  The average estimated time to complete a 150 hour check is approximately 35 - 40 hours.

The following costs are based on a 5 year operation with the aircraft flying 750hr/yr and are indicative only.  Actual costs will depend upon local costs for fuel and labour and how the aircraft is being operated.
