Building a scenario
- 1Open Finance → Purchase Analysis and enter the tail number. The FAA registry lookup fills in make, model, year and registration details.
- 2Enter purchase price, financing terms, and expected annual hours.
- 3Enter operating assumptions: fuel burn and price, insurance, hangar, maintenance and engine/prop reserves.
- 4The model returns cost per hour, break-even hours and the rate you would need to charge.
Using the result
- Compare the required hourly rate against what the club currently charges for a comparable tail.
- Reserve assumptions here should match the reserve accounts you keep per aircraft, so the plan and the books agree.
- Nothing in the analyzer touches live fleet or billing data — it is a planning tool only.
