Hello,
Can anyone out there give me a ROW (rough order of magnitude) of the cost per hour to idle a Rolls-Royce RB211 22C (or similar)? I'm looking for a total cost per hour, that would take into account:
Purchase price amortized over the life of the engine
Fuel burn at current prices at idle
Maintenance (including major and minor) over the life of the engine
I realize this is asking a lot, but again, I am only looking for a ballpark number. Can anyone take a stab at this? Any info is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

From the L-1011 T.D.C.S. Note 25. There are no RB-211-22C engines in existence...

Sorry for the error if I picked up a bad number. I am trying to find out this info for a 757 size aircraft engine.
Thanks

I think you might be thinking of the RB211-535 or similar
I dont know those numbers but I would love to know, those are always interesting.

Do not abort a takeoff because a cockpit window pops open!

How about a PW2000?
Figure on about 4,000 pounds per hour on the fuel. Average use, not idle. You have to look up the fuel price. I have no idea what it is.
Purchase price would be about 8 million, but, if it came with the airplane, it would be discounted.
Figure on a light overhaul at 1.5 million every 3,000 cycles. Figure on a heavy at 4 million every 6,000 cycles. (you have to decide on your trip length)
Cost to replace the life limited rotating parts every 20,000 cycles is 3 million.
Prices in USD. Do the math, and tell us what it is.
You can probably lease one for about 5,500 per day plus a 1,500 cycle charge. So if you make 4 3 hour trips per day, its going to cost you about 12,000, or about 1,000 per hour plus fuel.
