Cost calculator

What does your flight data actually cost?

Your fleet, your readouts, your figures. No vendor pricing and no savings claims — and nothing you enter leaves your browser unless you choose to send it to us.

The readouts you do

Every readout your operation does. Mark each one outsourced if someone sends you a bill for it, or in-house if your own people do the work — then give it hours instead of rands. Edit, add or delete any row.

Routine % is your own judgement: how much of that task is the same every time — pulling the data off, converting it, filling in the same report — versus the work that genuinely needs an engineer to decide something.

03

Fuel visibility

Separate from readouts: what recorded flight data can show you about fuel you are burning without meaning to.

Send us your numbers

We will look over what you have entered and tell you honestly where it looks out of line — including if it looks like you are already running this efficiently.

Everything here is an estimate built from figures you entered. Fuel converted at 0.80 kg/L. The full-time-staff figure assumes 1,800 productive hours per person per year. Nothing on this page is a quotation or a commitment, and no figures leave your browser until you press send.

Rather see it decoded than counted?

Bring one flight and we will decode it live on a call — your recorder, your frame definition, your data.
