Get FinancingCompare Helicopters, Piston, Turbine & Other Aircraft With Aircraft Cost Calculator
When looking ahead at how much your aircraft is going to cost you over time, do you feel like you have the whole picture? Coming up with accurate projections, which ideally extend beyond the aircraft’s purchase price to include everything from capital cost considerations to potential charter revenues, can be a time-consuming process. Simplifying and speeding up this process, and making the results more accurate with real-time aircraft-specific data, is what Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) is built to do.
Aircraft owners, operators, flight departments, brokers, charter operators, management companies, dealers, financial institutions, and others in the aviation industry frequently need to make cost projections related to piston, turbine, and jet aircraft and helicopters, whether these are aircraft they’re interested in buying or already own. It’s the people working in these roles that ACC is designed to help.
Real-Time Data, Easy To Use
ACC is an intuitive cloud-based solution you can access anywhere from virtually any device, from desktop PCs to smartphones and tablets. ACC helps users pinpoint actual aircraft costs in minutes—not hours or days, as might otherwise be the case—by leveraging a database of 500-plus airframes. This helps ACC compile and present editable, pre-loaded data that you can apply in various ways. You can, for example, use ACC’s Show Wizard tool to generate professional reports featuring cross-section graphics, hour and annual aircraft cost breakdowns, costs depicted as percentages, and much more.
A Wealth Of Cost Comparison Tools
While ACC’s cost calculators are its main calling card—the Trip Cost Calculator, for example, can detail the cost-savings that business aviation may provide over commercial travel—the software offers numerous practical tools, including comparison-making ones. The Cost Comparison tool, for instance, generates side-by-side cost comparisons for unlimited aircraft, while the Spec Comparison tool similarly does the same for aircraft specifications.
Using either tool is as easy as using drop-down menus for Aircraft Type (Fractional Jets, Twin-Engine Piston Aircraft, etc.) and Aircraft In Session (models for the chosen type) to add aircraft to a Session to draw comparisons. Add Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Cirrus SRV G2 from the Single-Engine Piston Aircraft category, for example, and ACC automatically provides real-world data organized into such sections as Annual Variable Costs, Total Variable Cost, Total Fixed Cost Without Charter, and Total Fixed Cost With Charter to make comparisons for different usage scenarios. At any time, you can conveniently add/remove aircraft to/from a session.
ACC’s Spec Comparison tool functions similarly. In addition to showing comparisons concerning basic aircraft information (cabin height and length, baggage capacity, years in production, etc.) and performance (Normal Cruise Speed, Fuel Usage, etc.) the tool provides Basic Variable Cost Data comparisons, including ones related to Airframe Maintenance Per Hour, Engine/APU Maintenance Per Hour, Fuel Cost Based On Gallons Per Hour, and Crew Miscellaneous cost information.
Free Trials & Fair Pricing
ACC offers numerous convenient pricing models to suit different user types. In addition to monthly and annual subscriptions, piece rate options are available for users who only need to produce one or two reports at a shot. Further, subscriptions for specific aircraft categories, such as piston models, are available, as is a free two-day trial to jump in and experience ACC’s prowess firsthand.
