It estimates your all-in operating cost per flight hour, models revenue scenarios (Charter, Leaseback, Private Rental), and shows EBITDA-like results, Earnings After Debt, and Cash‑on‑Cash returns based on your inputs.
Recurring yearly expenses such as hangar, insurance, training, subscriptions, management, and other overhead. They are allocated across monthly flight hours to derive a fixed cost per hour.
Costs that scale with flight time, typically fuel, oil, maintenance reserves, landing/handling, and other hourly expenses.
The sum of fixed cost per hour (annual fixed costs divided by utilization) plus variable cost per hour. It approximates true operating cost per flight hour.
Higher utilization spreads fixed annual costs over more hours, reducing fixed $/hr. Variable $/hr remains the same per hour.
Loan amount = purchase price minus down payment. Monthly payment uses APR and amortization years. An optional balloon calculates remaining balance at the end of the loan term; we add its pro‑rata share to annual debt for burden comparison.
Revenue minus variable costs, fixed allocation, and scenario fees. It approximates operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Scenario EBITDA‑like less the proportional share of monthly debt service (including balloon allocation when applicable).
Annualized Earnings After Debt divided by the investor’s initial cash outlay (down payment plus closing costs), expressed as a percentage.
Enter hourly rate, revenue hours/month, broker %, owner %, deadhead %, and management fee %. Deadhead hours incur variable cost but no revenue.
Wet leaseback assumes the operator covers most fuel; the model assumes the owner bears ~35% residual variable costs. Dry leaseback assumes the owner covers full variable $/hr.
You set hours/month, hourly rate, and marketing %; variable costs are applied per flown hour and fixed costs are allocated proportionally by total hours.
We allocate monthly fixed cost burden by each scenario’s share of total monthly flight hours.
Yes. Select an aircraft and edit fixed/variable line items and utilization. Overrides are saved locally in your browser.
The app loads a local mydataset.json file bundled with the page and normalizes common fields. You can substitute your own dataset using the same structure.
Select the dataset currency and set a manual FX rate to USD. When FX changes, the app re‑normalizes costs automatically.
Yes. Export the normalized dataset, a full JSON snapshot, and an amortization CSV from the toolbar and Financing panel.
All state is stored locally in your browser via localStorage. No data is sent to a server.
Outputs are estimates for planning and comparison. Actual costs and revenues vary by operation, fuel prices, maintenance condition, and market demand.
