Aviation research and data provider Conklin & de Decker is on hand at Heli-Expo 2015 to demonstrate how the information it provides can help customers make financial sense of aircraft operations.

The Aircraft Cost Evaluator assists aircraft owners and operators with side-by-side operating cost comparisons between models. The Life Cycle Cost tool evaluates acquisition costs, operating costs, taxes, final residual values and revenues from commercial operations. It also helps users determine budgets, decide whether to retain or replace aircraft and weigh the costs between new and used aircraft. Conklin & de Decker’s Aircraft Performance Comparator is an impartial source of data that allows users to quickly contrast different types of helicopters and airplanes.

Here at the show, visitors to the company’s exhibit can receive a show discount of 10 percent off the cost of any of its databases, including its newly-released 2015 State Tax Guide for General Aviation, as well as a chance to win and iPad mini or a Google Nexus 7 tablet.
