Excel Model  “Compared Viability of Diesel Airplanes for Flight Academies”

If you are in the flight training business in any country where there are pilots to train, you need this Model. It answers the following questions:

a. Which are the certified diesel airplanes (manufacturer and model) available now (Early 2015) for flight training.

b. What are their full Operating Costs (Amortization, Maintenance, Fuel, Instructor, etc.) depending on Number of Training Hours sold per year.

c. What these Operating Costs become when you input the actual Jetfuel and Avgas price in your country, the other costs (insurance, instructor, etc.), and the actual Number of Training Hours per year which your flight academy forecasts to sell.

This Model will therefore ask you to input some local data: Price of Avgas (if available) and Jetfuel; hourly compensation of an instructor; rate at which you plan to sell the hour of training (plane plus instructor); how many hours of training per year do you actually plan to sell; how much insurance per plane you will pay.

And the Model will show you instantaneously the per annum Sales Figure, Gross Cash Flow and Net Margin for any of the following trainer models:

a. Cessna 172 100LL new,

b. Cessna 172 converted to diesel and refurbished be one of the three leading converters,

c. Cessna 172JT-A new (OEM’d with diesel Continental 155HP),

d. Piper PA28 DX new (OEM’d with diesel Continental 155HP),

e. Diamond DA40 diesel (OEM’d with Austro engine diesel, 170HP),

f. Robin DR401-135CDI and 155CDI (OEM’d with diesel Continental 135HP and 155HP),

g. A typical used Cessna 172, and Cessna 152 (it will let you input their local prevailing market prices.)

The Model allows you to add yourself the shipping and CIF costs for an imported plane.
