Ownership planning

Build your gyroplane ownership budget

Use your own quotes and expected flying hours. See how annual use spreads fixed costs and what to set aside before you buy.

All amounts use the same currency. These are your planning assumptions, not market prices. Enter zero only when you intentionally make no allowance. Avoid counting an overhaul in both annual maintenance and the hourly reserve.

My Hangar

Saving this tool keeps its link in your hangar; it does not save your budget inputs.

Enter hours, fuel use and fuel price, then adjust the other allowances.

First-year budget including upfront cash

What the total includes

The annual budget combines fixed costs, fuel, a maintenance reserve and loan payments. The first year adds your upfront cash and one-time costs. A reserve is money set aside, not a prediction of maintenance spending. Depreciation, resale value, opportunity cost and unbudgeted repairs are excluded; add relevant cash expenses to your own allowances.

Use a written insurance quote, local storage quote and an inspection by an appropriately qualified maintainer. Match engine and rotor reserves to the applicable maintenance documents for your aircraft.
