Aircraft Cost Evaluator is the most extensive operating cost database and is part of the family of aircraft operating and acquisition data products developed by Conklin & de Decker addressing more than 490 jets, turboprops, helicopters and piston aircraft.

The Aircraft Cost Evaluator (ACE) is the ideal benchmarking tool and assists aircraft owners, operators, brokers and dealers with important side-by-side operating cost and performance comparisons. ACE helps users make critical decisions during these economic times on aircraft acquisitions whether they are downsizing to a smaller more economical asset or taking advantage of the market with a larger aircraft purchase or trade. The most extensive operating cost database, ACE is referred to as the industry standard and is currently used by AMSTAT, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Robb Report, and Business Jet Traveler.

The 2010 Aircraft Cost Evaluator release has added more aircraft, including the new Cessna Citation CJ4, Embraer Legacy 650, and the Gulfstream G250. This new version also includes preliminary data for the new Dornier Seastar and the PT6A converted King Air C90 and B200 turboprop aircraft by Blackhawk. New helicopter data in this ACE 2010 version covers the Sikorsky S76D. The Diamond DA 42NG with the new Austro Diesel engines is also included in this updated release. Targeted for update this release were the Fixed Costs — Hangar, Labor, Weather Services, Nav Services, Pilot Salaries, Training and Insurance, as well as, the latest aircraft acquisition prices and last year. A new download tool is available in the Members Only section of the Conklin and de Decker website.

A query function allows the user to narrow the selection to those that meet specific performance criteria. In addition, you can export your reports to Word, Excel and PDF with a click of a button.
