For the corrected takeoff distance (on wheels only) and climb data, the cost of the FTE analysis was $16,700, on top of my costs to gather the data, and the airplane operating costs for the testing. I did many hours (I want to say ten or so) of performance data gathering, after which the flight test engineer did all the analysis and produced corrected performance charts.
