PlaneLists.com EDGE™

The direct advantage, quantified — the true door-to-door cost of any trip in your aircraft vs airline, charter, and driving, plus the value of everyone aboard. FAA registry · real airports · real DOT airfares.

1 · Your aircraft

2 · The trip

Your airport can be minutes away (KARW) while the airline hub is an hour (SAV) — that difference is often the whole ballgame. Hub drive is estimated automatically; type a number to override it (applies each end).

3 · The people

We add 40% employer burden and value each hour at salary÷2080. For family trips, think of it as what your time is worth — the hours come home either way.

4 · Trip extras

Trip cost — your aircraft

Door to door — four ways to make this trip

What the hours are worth

EDGE™ (Evaluated Direct Gain Engine) estimates are planning aids from your inputs plus conservative industry assumptions — not a quote, appraisal, or tax/financial advice. Airline fares: U.S. DOT Consumer Airfare Report (average fares actually paid). Aircraft data: FAA registry & reference files. A PlaneLists.com™ tool — successor to the original PlaneSense sold to NBAA.
