Airframe Maintenance Cost of airframe maintenance is broken down into three parts; labor, materials, and burden or the cost of taking the aircraft out of operation. Airframe Maintenance Labor: Notice that for both the labor and material cost, are based on a historical curve fit developed by Liebeck1 and are dependent of the number of trips per year, average trip time and the airframe weight. 2 Wairframe Wairframe Maintenance Hrs. Trip Time + ... = 1.26 + 1.774 0.1071 5 5 Trip 110 1 10 (Eq. 3) 2 W W ... + 1.614 + 0.7227 airframe + 0.1204 airframe 5 5 1 10 1 10 Maintenance Hrs. $ Airframe Labor Cost = ( # of trips ) 25 (Eq. 4) Trip Hr
Airframe Maintenance Materials: 2 Wairframe Wairframe Material Cost Trip Time + ... = 12.39 + 29.8 + 0.1806 5 5 Trip 1 10 110 (Eq. 5) 2 W W ... + 15.2 + 97.33 airframe 2.862 airframe 5 5 110 1 10
(Eq. 6)
Airframe Applied Maintenance Burden: Applied Maint. Burden = 2 Airframe Labor Cost (Eq. 7) Thus: Total Airframe Maintenance Cost = Airframe Labor +Airframe Mat. + Airframe Burden

(Eq. 10)
(Eq. 11)
(Eq. 12)
Total Engine Maintenance Cost = Engine Labor + Engine Mat. + Engine Burden (Eq. 13)
Again, notice that the labor rate for total aircraft maintenance is assumed to be 25 dollars per hour. However, this value can be changed if found that current rates differ.
Landing Fee The landing fee is based on the operational empty weight of the aircraft and an average of landing fees in the United States. They may heavily vary in Europe, with possible additional fees such as NOX emissions or community noise. However this is not captured in this method. Wgross W fuel Landing Fee = 1.5 (Eq. 14) 1000
Depreciation, Interest & Insurance For all of the following methods the total airframe cost must be known, which can be found using methods found in Raymer. Notice that all of the following equations are dependent on gross weight that will be found by your sizing code.
Airframe Cost Airframe Cost Airframe Cost (Eq. Depreciation = (1 residual ) + Airframe Spares + Engine Spares Period Period Period
15)
For the calculation of Depreciation the following values can be used: Period = 15 years, Residual = 0.1, Airframe Spares = 0.06, Engine Spares = 0.23. Insurance = 0.0035 Airframe Cost (Eq. 16)
(1+Interest Rate )2 Period Future Value + Present Value Interest = Interest Rate 1 + (1+Interest Rate )2Period (Eq. 17)
For the interest calculation it is ok to set the future value of the aircraft to zero since it is difficult to predict this value, especially at the very early stages of preliminary design.
Finally, from all of these the total direct operating cost of a commercial transport can be found: DOC = Flight Crew + Cabin Crew + Airframe Maintenance + Engine Maintenance + Depreciation + Insurance + Interest (Eq. 18)
