Aircraft Cost Calculator

Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) is a web-based operating cost application for aircraft owners, operators, flight departments, financial institutions, charter operators, brokers and dealers. It is part of Sandhills Global's family of aviation brands alongside Controller, CurrencyAir, CharterHub and AircraftValuation, and its logo carries the line "powered by Controller". The application is mobile friendly, works in imperial or metric units and in more than 60 currencies, and comes with live chat support.

What it does

• Pre-loaded, editable real-world cost data for more than 500 airframes: jets, turboprops, piston aircraft and helicopters, covering variable, fixed and long-term expenses
• Operating costs at the user's own utilisation level, including charter revenue contribution, financing, capital cost, residual values and lease payments
• Side-by-side comparison of an unlimited number of aircraft, with range rings overlaid on a world map from the user's location
• Customisable depreciation schedules, trip cost calculators and charter revenue projections
• Nine report types generated in seconds, with the user's own company branding, logo and contact details
• An aircraft library with advanced search by range, passengers, speed, year and price, favourites and a My Hangar list
• On demand reports, a how-to guide and a blog
• Aircraft financing options through CurrencyAir and for-sale listings through Controller, linked from the application

The site quotes users such as a CJ3 operator who found ACC's figures within a few percent of his own calculations in a fraction of the time, and a start-up operator who used the data to build a business model.

Plans

Subscriptions are sold by category: piston only, helicopter only, and turboprop and jet, with a trial period and an unlimited access option. The Plans and Pricing page on the site gives current rates.

Cirrus

Cirrus is one of the manufacturers in ACC's aircraft library, listed alongside Beechcraft, Cessna, Diamond, Mooney and Piper among the piston makers, so owners and buyers can run operating cost figures for Cirrus models and compare them with other piston singles in the same application.
