How does the calculator work out cost per flight hour?

It adds the annual labour (your shop rate times the hours your shop quotes), one tenth of the CAPS replacement price, an engine reserve (your overhaul quote divided by TBO, times the hours you fly), and your insurance and hangar costs. It then divides the total by the hours you fly. Fuel, oil, parts and unscheduled repairs are not included.
