The cost of buying a private jet includes: driving test, buying a plane and daily use and maintenance costs.
At present, the domestic helicopter driver's license examination fee is generally 6.5438+0.8 million yuan, and the tuition fee is 3,000 yuan per hour for 60 hours.
Operating cost of private jet: the fuel cost of delta wing glider flying for one hour is around 300 yuan; Hummingbird helicopter flight costs about one hour in 800 yuan; Maintenance every 200 hours and overhaul every 10 years.
At present, the price of more than a dozen international popular business jets is 20-30 million yuan/frame. This kind of large business jet needs to be parked in a professional airport and entrusted to the airport company, and only the custody fee and maintenance fee will cost 6,543,800 yuan/year.
Private jets are getting closer and closer to ordinary people.
On 2011114, the Opinions of the Central Military Commission of the State Council on Deepening the Reform of Low-altitude Airspace Management in China (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions) was officially released, which greatly loosened the low-altitude flight. This year, China's low-altitude airspace management reform has been rolled out throughout the country, the general aviation approval procedures have been simplified, and flights have become more people-friendly. On May 15, the first private jet 5S shop in Henan opened in Zhengzhou, and bought two small helicopters on the same day.
How much does it cost to "keep" a private jet? "When it comes to raising airplanes, many people first think of private jets and business jets. In fact, air sports such as paragliding is closer to the lives of ordinary people than private jets. " Liu Yi said, in fact, the money to keep this kind of plane is not as expensive as we thought. "Different planes cost different things, such as powered parachutes and paragliders. These things are not expensive and convenient to store. You can put them in the garage. Their maintenance cost is lower, only a few thousand dollars a year. "
According to a private jet owner who did not want to be named, if a private jet wants to fly to the sky, it must first submit an application to the air traffic control bureau, indicating the flight time, landing and landing location, etc. During the flight, the air traffic control department also provides relevant information such as meteorological conditions, which is paid. "In addition, do you want to store your plane? Generally speaking, the plane is not small, and the ordinary garage is definitely not good. If you don't have a suitable place to store it, you need to trust or park your plane at the airport. But this involves downtime fees, storage fees, maintenance fees, oil fees, lubricating oil fees, etc. "
"Small aircraft fuel, transportation, normal maintenance, two ultra-small fixed-wing aircraft, at least several thousand yuan a year. But a small plane like LSA 162 is expected to cost about 20,000-30,000 yuan a year. Of course, it is normal for those larger planes to spend about 654.38+0 million a year. " Liu Yi told reporters that this is due to the different frequency of aircraft use and different costs. "At present, the fuel of the aircraft can use the No.97 gasoline of the car, but the lubricating oil is special and requires special jet fuel. This price will be higher. "
The most important thing, of course, is the issue of flight license. Flight driver's license is divided into private photos and official photos. The so-called private photos are for citizens' own use, and pilots who get commercial photos can provide commercial operations and flights for others or companies. Obtaining private photos is a prerequisite for obtaining business photos. According to relevant regulations, drivers taking private photos should be trained for at least 40 hours, including solo flight 10 hour. To get the business license, the actual operation training time needs 1 10 hour.
How much is it to learn to fly a plane? 50,000 small planes and 200,000 large planes.
With the rise of private jets in China, the private photo training market is also quietly starting. The reporter learned that at present, domestic private aircraft training schools and aviation clubs have appeared in Sichuan, Henan, Guangdong, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang and other places, and dozens of them are distributed all over the country.
According to the forecast of American Boeing Company, with the development of general aviation in China, China will need more than 73,000 pilots in the next 20 years. So, how much does it cost to get a flight license in China at present?
Liu Yi said that the tuition fees of paragliders, delta wings and other aircraft are very cheap, while it takes a long time to learn small and above aircraft, and the price is relatively high.
The reporter learned that it takes 6 to 8 months of primary training to get a private flight driver's license. "The test of airplane driver's license, like A, B and C photos, is divided into three categories: private flight driver's license, commercial flight driver's license and air transport driver's license. Among them, private flight license holders can only fly for non-profit purposes, and they can continue to apply for business licenses and air transport licenses after they have private photos and become professional pilots. In addition, applying for a private flight license has to go through two levels: learning flight theory and flight operation technology, passing the private driver's license theory test and the flight skills practice test. " Ke Yubao, deputy secretary-general of China Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, said that generally speaking, a small plane driver's license costs about 50,000-60,000 yuan, and those complicated ones cost about 200,000 yuan. Private driver's license is tested every two years, but physical examination must be done once a year. Unlike a car driver's license, a flight driver's license can only be used for the same type of aircraft. The "airworthiness certificate" equivalent to the aircraft license also needs to be inspected once a year.
If you can get on the plane smoothly, the average monthly salary will not be less than 1 000, so this training is expensive, but it is very attractive.
Private photos are reviewed once every two years, and pilots must have a physical examination every year. Flight driver's license is highly targeted, and the scope is limited to one type of aircraft. The "airworthiness certificate" equivalent to the aircraft license also needs to be inspected once a year.
-200,000 yuan to get a driver's license, 500,000 yuan to join the club, 100 flying hours, 1 10,000 dollars to buy your own private jet.
-The cheapest helicopter costs 40-50 million yuan, and the most expensive one can reach 40-50 million yuan.
-It is estimated that there are no more than 200 private jets in China, of which 15% belong to the rich in the Pearl River Delta.
-China has more than 60 private jets, which is one fifth of that of the United States.
China now has 1.900 billionaires and 1.40 billionaires, and one in six billionaires plans to buy private jets.
The cost of learning private photos is usually between 6,543,800 yuan and 200,000 yuan. Because different aviation schools choose different planes, the prices vary greatly. Take Pan American International Aviation School in Beijing as an example. It uses the world's most advanced Austrian diamond series DA40 single-engine instrument aircraft as a trainer, and the cost of learning private photos is about 200,000 RMB.
Other expenses: First of all, the aircraft tax: the import tax rate is still as high as 2 1%, and a private jet with a cost of 1 100 million yuan will cost more than 20 million yuan, and the subsequent crew cost, custody cost and operating cost will be about 10% of the helicopter value in one year. However, due to the limited domestic general aviation airports, the downtime and aircraft take-off and landing costs are also high.
Someone has calculated an account for private flight: it costs 654.38+0.6 million yuan to get a flight driver's license; Join a flying club and spend 300,000 yuan flying 100 hour; Not counting fuel consumption, the annual maintenance fee is 5% of the aircraft price; It needs to be overhauled after flying for 200 hours, and the cost is about 1 ten thousand yuan. To fly a private jet, you must have 1 100 million assets and an annual income of at least 30 million.
Three conditions for private jets to fly into the sky: at present, private jets in China must meet three conditions at the same time: first, airworthiness permits issued by the Civil Aviation Administration. Secondly, pilots must undergo rigorous training and obtain flight licenses issued by relevant departments. Third, it is necessary to apply to the air traffic control department for flight airspace and flight plan, and flight activities can be implemented only after approval.
China private jet airspace opening: At present, China plans to open airspace below 1000m. The open airspace will mainly allow some small aircraft such as light fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters to fly. After the low-altitude airspace is opened, the plane can only fly after being approved by the competent department, which will make a safe flight route for the plane before flying.
Current situation of private jet market in China: According to the data provided by Firestone, from June 2009 1 1 to February 2009/1year, there were 28 private jets registered in China, with the total selling price exceeding 1 1 billion dollars. By the end of April, there were 65,438+026 registered private jets in China, including Hongkong and Macau.
How to buy a private jet?
Renting a plane gives you the same availability as buying a plane, but your first financial investment is much smaller. There are two kinds of aircraft leasing, one is operating leasing and the other is financing leasing. Operating lease means renting a plane for a period of time and returning it to the leasing company after the contract expires. Financial leasing provides you with the option of purchasing aircraft permanently after the lease contract expires. It's a bit like buying a house on installment. The accumulated financial investment and final purchase cost of renting an airplane are similar to those of buying an airplane at the beginning.
In addition, the low-altitude flight tour represented by helicopter sightseeing is a new type of tourism project and high-end tourism product, which not only meets the needs of tourists and flight enthusiasts for sightseeing experience, but also provides "personal tailor" service for creative weddings, corporate celebrations, business charter flights and aerial photography.
How to rent a plane?
If you need private jet for more than 300 hours a year, there is no doubt that renting a plane is the most cost-effective. If you often have to make frequent short flights, or make many stopovers during your journey, the stopover time at the stopover and final destination can become more flexible, which not only brings convenience to private jets, but also saves you the direct cost of hiring crew and considerable operating costs of the aircraft.
1, service fee 1 10,000 yuan (including route declaration, navigation, maintenance and stepping on the spot). This fee is very important. If the formalities are not done well, it will be a black fly, and you can be investigated for legal responsibility. It may also be directly shot down as a UFO or an invading plane. Individuals have all kinds of troubles in declaring routes, so they are generally entrusted to the airlines that rent planes. After the formalities are completed, the crew will also be provided by the airline company, providing all-round services in one stop.
2. rent. After completing the formalities, you can choose your favorite model. At present, the quotations of several mainstream models are like this:

The rental fee of Robinson R44(4 seats) is about 15000 per hour. R44 is a common model at present.
The rental fee of Eurocopter EC 120(5 seats) is about 35,000 hours.
The rental fee of Eurocopter EC 135(8 seats) is about 65,000 hours.
3. Hiring rules: Generally speaking, the time for renting an airplane starts from three hours, and five hours is the standard time.
At present, there is no separate preferential tax policy for leasing in China, and there is no tax leasing at present.
Private jet purchase process
Step 1: Determine the purchase purpose.
The purpose determines the purchase direction and capital budget, and the types of machines purchased are different. For recreational flight, you can buy a small propeller plane or other planes with low cost; For short-distance commercial flights and navigation operations, small planes and helicopters can be purchased, and the use cost of helicopters is relatively high. For long-haul business flights, you can buy a higher-level business jet. Modern business jet has become a real air office with advanced electronic equipment and luxurious decoration.
Step 2: Select the aircraft manufacturer and model.
According to the purpose and budget, select the aircraft manufacturer and target aircraft type, select several aircraft types, make necessary comparative analysis, determine the optimal selection order, and negotiate for inquiry.
In the case of inexperience in buying and using aircraft, domestic customers are advised to buy aircraft from world-renowned manufacturers. These manufacturers have good quality and perfect after-sales service system, which can better solve the worries of using aircraft.
Step 3: Conduct business negotiations with agents and manufacturers.
After the model is clear, we can negotiate with the agent or manufacturer to determine the basic price, optional configuration, spare materials, delivery date, after-sales service and other details.
Step 4: Sign the aircraft purchase contract, import and export agency agreement, and pay the deposit.
On the premise of mutual benefit and mutual satisfaction, after the import agent is determined, the buyer, the seller and the agent sign a tripartite purchase contract, and the buyer pays the purchase deposit.
The seller's quotation is generally ex-factory price, including basic price and optional configuration price. Customers should also consider the following import fees: VAT 65438+ 07% of the total aircraft price, customs duties, import agency fees, transportation fees, insurance fees, etc. The import agent will assist customers in handling foreign exchange adjustment, payment, aircraft import and other procedures.
Step 5: Find an aircraft hosting company to sign an aircraft hosting agreement.
The escrow company can be responsible for applying for import approval, daily maintenance, repair and scheduling management of imported aircraft, completing service announcements and airworthiness instructions, as well as route application and flight management. For inexperienced buyers, this is a better choice.
Step 6: Submit the purchase application to CAAC.
Customers fill in the corresponding application form, attach a copy of the aircraft purchase contract, and submit the purchase application to the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Import approval can be applied for by aircraft hosting companies, and some import agencies also provide this service.
Required documents: application letter (introduced by the buyer), copy of purchase contract and copy of custody agreement.
Step 7: The customer sends personnel to participate in pilot-to-plane training and crew training.
Aircraft manufacturers usually provide customers with pilot-to-aircraft training and crew training. Airplanes are different from cars, and pilots and maintenance personnel of each type have to undergo special training.
The crew and pilots participating in the training can take part in the subsequent pick-up work, and the specific training time is subject to the actual arrangement of the factory.
Step 8: Check and accept flights and reception.
After the aircraft is manufactured, the customer carries out acceptance flight and receiving work in the factory. This work can be done by flight and maintenance personnel who have recently participated in training, and they should have relevant experience and knowledge. At the same time of acceptance, the customer should inform the import agent to make preparations for the import customs.
Step 9: Apply to CAAC for the aircraft registration number.
Step 10: Air transport
When the plane is transported back or flown back to China, the freight and insurance shall be borne by the customer, and a professional company is generally entrusted.
Step 11: Customs formalities
Customers pay various customs duties through import and export agents and complete customs clearance procedures.
Step 12: Aircraft reassembly and flight test (if necessary)
After customs clearance, if necessary, the aircraft will be transported to the assembly site for assembly and test flight.
Step 13: Obtain international registration certificate, airworthiness certificate and radio license.
After the aircraft purchased by the customer arrived in China, the manufacturer cancelled the nationality registration in the country of origin. Customers apply to the Civil Aviation Administration of China for aircraft nationality registration certificate, airworthiness certificate and radio station license. This work can also be entrusted to an escrow company.
Step 14: Warranty, air material supply and after-sales service
According to the flight years and hours, the aircraft has a certain maintenance period and after-sales service.
