The Cost Report displays calculated expenses for the planned flight according to information you entered during aircraft setup under Edit > Default Aircraft Data > Edit Default Aircraft Model > Operating Costs tab. (See Aircraft Data > Operating Costs).
View the Cost Report in one of the following ways:
Click Preflight > Reports > Cost Report.
Click the Reports tab in the active view and click the Cost Report button.
Hourly, annual, fuel, mileage, and per flight costs are shown in the report, with the total cost for the flight displayed in the right hand column.
Annual costs for the flight = annual expense ÷ annual hours × flight time for the selected flight.
Fuel cost for the flight = total fuel for the trip × cost per fuel unit (as entered in the aircraft data).
If all the cost items are zero or seem strange, verify you have entered accurate cost information in the Operating Costs of the aircraft model.
