Time is money – Each and every one of these cost elements are affecting the time it takes for the helicopter to perform the mission.
Prices of helicopter transportation of building materials may be given as a combination of hourly rate alone , or hourly rate for cargo flight plus a fixed amount for the ferry flight to the pickup location. Is there a mission of 8-10 lift or more, fixed rate is frequently offered for flying to and from the pickup place. However, the major part of the cost associated with the flight is anyway the hourly rate you pay for the of the helicopter when flying the cargo. Helicopters have different lifting capacity and prices.

How do the helicopter companies register the TIME consumption of the helicopter when flying your buiding materials
Technical time
The helicopter’s actual airborne flying time . Insurance , life of the helicopter’s vital parts and intervals for inspection is calculated from this. These are the main operating expenses . Technical time is the time airborne and actually the time the helicopter is working for you.
Rotor time
This is, in short technical time + time the rotor is in motion when the helicopter is on the ground . A landing with stopping and starting again, will incur additional in time ranging from 2-3 minutes to 10-12 minutes. This time is thus higher than technical time, and will cost you more.
Customer Time
This is Technical time + Rotor Time + a premium in time after the rotor has stopped. Customer Time varies from company to company and from mission to mission . Like flying Skydivers or Heliskiing have a large difference between the actual flight time and billable time ( technical time vs customer time )
