46 Cost of Operations INTRODUCTION Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. cost of operations data for current production helicopters is based on information from Bell helicopter operators and service facilities. BHTI s Product Support organization accumulates cost data from a diverse group of operators - large, small; sub-polar, subtropical; inland, coastal; corporate, charter. This information is analyzed to generate sample data for each production model which are averages of the field experience. BHTI intends to continue monitoring actual costs and product improvements to enable annual updates of the data to maintain its currency. The following discussion is provided to review the variables involved in the helicopter s direct and indirect cost of operations as well as its cost of ownership. The total cost of helicopter ownership and operation involves both direct and indirect costs. The direct costs are those which are incurred essentially by the flight hour and include: yfuel, Lubricants ybasic Airframe Maintenance ypowerplant Maintenance The indirect costs are not directly dependent upon the number of hours flown and include: yinsurance yfacilities (hangar, workshop, etc.) ycrew Compensation yfinancial Factors (depreciation, investment tax credit, financing costs, etc.) Sample direct operating cost data is available for each current production model. Detailed estimates for total costs relating to specific operations are available through the BHTI regional marketing manager or corporate office using input data supplied by customer/prospect. DIRECT COSTS Fuel, Lubricants Basic Airframe Maintenance A typical average value of fuel and lubricant costs is included in the sample data provided for each model. Fuel consumption depends upon speed, temperature, externally-mounted accessories, sling loads, etc. A band of approximately 10% more or less than sample value will cover these factors for normal operations. Fuel pricing varies considerably based on where the fuel is purchased geographically and whether it is purchased retail or in bulk. The sample cases use average retail purchase price prevalent at the time of the sample data are prepared. Airframe maintenance is divided into four categories: yperiodic Inspections yoverhauls yreplacement of Retirement Parts yunscheduled Periodic inspections include those inspection tasks, with their part requirements, listed in the Maintenance Manual for each model. Man hours for periodic inspections can vary from the sample value provided because of differences in personal experience, tool and parts availability, facilities, environmental effects such as extremes in working temperatures. Man hour costs/ hour are also variable among the Authorized Service Centers as a result of differences in local costs, overhead expenses and volume of work. The sample value is an average of costs per hour at Authorized Service Centers at the time of publication. 40 Specifications subject to change without notice.

47 Cost of Operations DIRECT COSTS Basic Airframe Maintenance (continued) Powerplant Maintenance Overhauls include removal, disassembly, inspection, parts replacement, reassembly and reinstallation of certain components/assemblies at the periods stated in the BHTI Maintenance Manual. Overhaul man hour and parts requirements are subject to considerable variation depending upon the helicopter s operations and environments. The sample data reflect average values. Retirement parts are those which are subject to disposal after an operating time stated in the Maintenance Manual. These are normally components of the rotors/control systems which are subject to oscillatory loads and are designed and tested for use over a finite number of flight hours rather than on their condition. The replacement at the required intervals requires some labor which is included in the man hour data in the sample. On-condition/Unscheduled maintenance encompasses labor and parts replacement for major maintenance not covered under the formal Maintenance Manual requirements for scheduled part retirements, periodic inspections and overhauls. It also includes those additional maintenance requirements imposed by the manufacturer through issue of Service Bulletins. The sample data for periodic inspections provide for some minor unscheduled maintenance tasks resulting from the inspection. The powerplant (engine) requires periodic inspection and overhauls. The overhaul periods are based on the number of operating hours or on the number of cycles, whichever is the first limit to be attained. Start cycles are a factor because thermal cycles are important in the design of the turbine engine s rotating components. Overhauls are performed by the engine manufacturer and/or at authorized facilities. Powerplant overhaul can be performed for the engine as a unit, or in some cases for individual modules. (Modules can be gearbox, compressor, turbine, for example.) Each module can have its own overhaul period. Modular overhaul can be costeffective for some operations and its use should be evaluated. Engine or module exchanges can be made in lieu of overhaul. For details, contact the engine manufacturer or his authorized distributors/service centers. The sample costs are based on an average exchange. The powerplant may also require unscheduled maintenance (unscheduled removals for repair, parts replacement).
