How It Works
Answer a few plain‑English questions and we’ll match 5–12 aircraft to your mission. Review transparent tradeoffs and apply for financing in minutes.
1) Tell us your mission
Choose your longest likely flight by selecting two cities — we compute distance automatically. Add passengers and your shortest expected runway. We keep it simple and handle reserves, planning factors, and density altitude under the hood.
2) We compute Fit Scores
We score runway fit, payload @ full fuel, NBAA‑IFR range, speed vs economy, direct operating cost, budget, comfort (pressurization), single‑pilot capability, baggage volume, and basic noise/access — normalized and weighted to your priorities. Hover to see component scores; open “Assumptions” for data sources and dataset version.
3) Review, compare, and apply
Use the compare table for side‑by‑side specs. When you’re ready, click “Get Financing” to open a short application — we pre‑fill aircraft fields when you come from a result. Submissions route securely to our financing partners for rapid follow‑up.
Transparent sources & disclaimers
Performance and cost figures are estimates based on published sources (AOPA, AvBuyer, manufacturer data). Always verify with AFM/POH and professional evaluations. Not for flight planning.
FAQs
How do you estimate range and reserves?
We normalize to NBAA‑style IFR reserves (often used in “range (four passengers)” comparisons) and apply your headwind/ATC margin and optional round‑trip planning.
How do you handle runway requirements?
We factor landing distance for planning (e.g., 60% dry) and apply conservative density‑altitude adjustments for takeoff/landing. The questionnaire only asks for your shortest expected runway; we handle the rest.
What goes into the Fit Score?
Runway fit, payload @ full fuel, NBAA‑IFR range, speed vs. economy, direct operating cost, budget, comfort (pressurization), single‑pilot capability, baggage volume, and basic noise/access assumptions — weighted and normalized.
Where do specs come from?
We aggregate from reputable sources (AOPA, AvBuyer, manufacturer data) and surface the source links per aircraft. Figures are estimates — verify with AFM/POH and professional evaluations.
