Comparing Aircraft

Before comparing types of aircraft we help you understand your mission parameters. For individuals and for your business, the questions are the same. Where do you intend to go for business, family and pleasure? How many people average on each trip. How many times a year to those destinations. Once we answer those basic mission questions we can determine the stage lengths for the trips and determine should you buy a turboprop or jet.

cjjets.com will produce a report that compares the three aircraft that suit your mission. This report considers every factor: acquisition cost, annual cost with market depreciation, variable cost per flight hour, annual fixed costs to operate and own the aircraft, speed, range, rate of climb, maximum operating altitude, take-off and landing runway requirements and how many passengers can be carried for what range. We include a range map, a pictorial comparison of the aircrafts cabin size, cabin volume, baggage weight and volume and overall dimensions, very important when choosing your hangar.
