New Conklin & de Decker Software is Designed to Tell You

Conklin & de Decker has released its latest update to the industry standard for operating costs, the Aircraft Cost Evaluator with ACEWin+ software. The handbook/CD ROM software package contains complete and accurate direct costs, fixed costs and annual budgets. Fractional ownership data are included.

More aircraft 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 39th, has over 365 jets, turboprops, helicopters and piston aircraft. In this revision, Conklin & de Decker added seven aircraft to the database. The new aircraft are the Cessna CJ3 (pictured); Gulfstream models 300, 400, 500 and 550; and the Learjet 45XR and 40. In addition, fixed costs such as salaries, insurance, hangar rates etc. have been updated. Fuel prices remain relatively stable while pre-owned aircraft prices continue to fall.

With the ACEWin+ 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 you 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 is $10 per database (US & Canada) and $40 per database (International deliveries). The price is for an annual subscription which 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.
