Aircraft Cost Calculator

Aircraft Cost Calculator is an online tool in the United States that shows what it costs to operate and own an aircraft. Users search a library of aircraft and build reports from it. It covers jets, turboprops, piston aircraft and helicopters.

The aircraft library has more than 440 models. Each listing shows range, speed, maximum passengers, the cost of the aircraft and direct operating costs per hour. Users can filter by type, manufacturer, range, passengers, speed, production year and price. They can also save favorites and keep a My Hangar list, and they can clone an aircraft to make their own version. Jets are split into light, mid, super mid and large classes.

The library names many makers. These include Airbus, Beechcraft, Boeing, Bombardier, Cessna, Cirrus, Dassault, Embraer, Gulfstream, Pilatus, Piper, Diamond and Mooney. Helicopter makers include Bell, Robinson and Sikorsky. Sample listings include the Cirrus SR22, Beechcraft Bonanza A36, Cessna 421C, Piper Meridian, Diamond DA62 and Gulfstream G200.

Users can switch between imperial and metric units. They can view costs in dozens of currencies, from US dollars and euros to pounds and yen. They log in with a Controller brand account.

Customers can buy an On-Demand Report, which compares up to three aircraft and is emailed to them. Subscriptions give unlimited reports. Options include a monthly plan, a yearly plan, a piston aircraft only plan and a helicopter only plan. Each plan allows use on up to three devices. A free trial is also offered.

The company shares branding with a family of aviation sites that includes Controller, CharterHub, Aviation Trader, AircraftValuation and Aircraft.com.
