Conklin & De Decker Releases Updated Aircraft Cost
Evaluator
Conklin & de Decker has released
its latest update to the industry standard for operating costs, the
Aircraft Cost Evaluator. The handbook/CD ROM software package
contains complete and accurate direct costs, fixed costs and annual
budgets. Fractional ownership data is included. In addition to the
operating costs, the ACEWin+ software contains a library of
information with pilot reports, aircraft interior and exterior
diagrams drawn to scale, photos and histories.
The latest edition, the 41st, has over 380 jets, turboprops,
helicopters and piston aircraft. In this revision, Conklin & de
Decker added sixteen aircraft: Jets: Bombardier Global XRS, Cessna
Citation XLS, and Gulfstream G350 & G450. Turboprops: Cessna
Soloy 207, DeHavilland DHC-2 Turbo Beaver & DHC-3 Turbo Otter,
and Pilatus PC-6 (-27 &-34 powered). Helicopters: Eurocopter EC
135P2 & T2. Pistons: Adam A500, Cirrus SRV, Lancair Columbia
350 and New Piper 6X & 6XT. In addition, fixed costs such as
salaries, insurance, hangar rates etc. have been updated. The
average fuel price is relatively unchanged from the previous
edition, but don't look for any stability in prices during the next
few months. Pre-owned aircraft prices continue to fall, albeit much
more slowly than in recent periods.
With the software, users can compare up to three aircraft
side-by-side, edit nearly two-dozen variables, change currencies,
and change measurement units to customize the reports. A
query function allows the user to narrow the selection to those
that meet specific performance needs. Users can either print out
the three-column comparison or print out pages for single aircraft
formatted just like the handbook.
The price for the Aircraft Cost Evaluator with ACEWin+ is $525
for jets, $500 for turboprops or helicopters and $425 for the
piston database. Shipping is $10 per database (US & Canada) and
$40 per database (International deliveries). The price is for an
annual subscription. That includes one original issue and one
update. Multiple user licenses are available. Customized reports
for individual aircraft can be ordered for between $29.95 and
$99.95 for each aircraft.
