Where I fly it costs $61 an hour and fuel is $4.55 per gallon, and it's assumed that we use 8 gallons per hour, so it comes out to just under $100 an hour to rent it wet.

Be sure to remember that that's only for where I rent aircraft.  It could be totally different other places. ;)

It can vary quite a bit in the US- for savings, stay away from larger cities. Out here in San Diego I've been renting a Champ at a not-very-busy Class D airport 20 miles east of the city for $55/hr with fuel, and the same outfit has a 172 for $75/hr, an a 182 for 90-something dollars/hr.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

$89.00 per hour for a Cessna 172 and the airplane comes wet and the Cessna 152 we have at the FBO that I work at is $75 an hour wet.
