An organization cannot function without knowing how much it produces and how much each product costs. The Portuguese Air Force is no exception, and so, determining the Cost per Flying Hour is essential for decision-making. Information concerning the Cost Factors included in the Cost per Flying Hour used to be stored in various Information Systems, but with the implementation of the Defense Integrated Management System in Portuguese Air Force, these Information Systems became obsolete, as the Integrated Management System now concentrates all the information about the Cost Factors. However it did not have the ability to calculate the Cost per Flying Hour because some of its modules were not yet implemented. Thus the Cost per Flying Hour began to be calculated using inflation. In 2010 a Model in which the Cost Factors were obtained directly from sources was proposed. In this investigation work, it is recommended that the new Model start to use the Integrated Management System data, being the main source of information. Thus, it is defined and proposed a Calculation's Model of Cost per Flying Hour, presenting its formula and the method of obtaining the information for it. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
