Default How much to charge??

Just got offered a side gig to fly some pipeline patrol, maybe five days of flying. I've never contracted myself out. What would be a fair amount?
Low and slow in a cardinal 177. I would be just flying, there would be another person on board doing whatever they do.

Thanks

Is there a guarentee or estimate how many hours per shift/day?

See that's how it all starts. You should have said 52 and sold me on how your worth more than the $50 guy. Up sell!

But serious I have no idea what this kind of work is worth.

No this is a small job, two lines to fly. One should take two days and the other 2 1/2 days. The guy will take care of hotel rooms not sure about meals , I still need to get more details. He said he normally does it himself but he let his medical expire a couple of months ago. The job needs to get done in the next couple of weeks.

Never flown pipeline patrol, but I'd expect $200-300/day for this kind of work.

For reference, we pay $300/day for Cirrus contract pilots when we need one.
