PlaneCost: Track Airplane Cost
True Hourly Operating Cost
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
PlaneCost reveals your true hourly operating cost with clear reports built for serious aircraft owners. Track fuel, maintenance, hangar, insurance, and annual costs.
Owning an aircraft is more than fuel and oil. Between hangar rent, insurance, annual inspections, maintenance events, financing, subscriptions, databases, upgrades, and unexpected repairs, it becomes difficult to understand your real hourly cost. PlaneCost brings structure to the chaos.
With PlaneCost, you can:
• Log fixed costs like hangar, insurance, loan payments, subscriptions, and annual inspections
• Track variable costs such as fuel, oil, maintenance events, parts, and upgrades
• Record every flight with Hobbs or tach time
• Automatically calculate your real hourly operating cost
• View cost breakdowns by category
• See how much per hour goes to fuel vs. maintenance vs. fixed overhead
• Generate yearly summaries and running averages
Instead of guessing your hourly rate, you’ll know exactly where every dollar goes.
True Cost Per Hour — Not Just Fuel Burn
Many owners underestimate their operating cost because they focus only on fuel. PlaneCost factors in both fixed and variable expenses to calculate your real, fully burdened hourly number. You’ll see precisely how much each category contributes to your cost per hour.
Clear Financial Visibility
Understand trends over time. Are maintenance costs increasing? Is fuel your biggest expense? Are fixed costs dominating your hourly rate because you’re not flying enough? PlaneCost makes it obvious.
Designed for Pilots
The interface is clean, focused, and practical. No clutter. No unnecessary features. Just the tools aircraft owners actually need to make informed financial decisions.
Built for:
• Single-engine piston owners
• Multi-engine owners
• Partnership aircraft operators
• Flight instructors tracking operating cost
• Owners evaluating whether to keep, sell, or upgrade
Whether you fly 50 hours a year or 300, PlaneCost helps you understand the financial side of ownership with precision.
Make Smarter Decisions
Know when it makes sense to fly more. Know when costs are creeping up. Know what your airplane truly costs per hour before you quote it to a partner, renter, or accountant.
If you take aircraft ownership seriously, you should take cost tracking seriously.
PlaneCost — Know your number.
