Conklin & de Decker (Booth No. 1241) announced the release of its Life Cycle Cost Version 7.2 aircraft budget analysis software, including a new “maintenance cost matrix” that lets users view maintenance costs in five-year increments. The feature provides a better picture of predicted budget adjustments as an aircraft gets older, according to the company. In addition, Life Cycle Cost Release 7.2 adds 23 aircraft models, including the Hawker 900XP, King Air C90GTi, Bell 412HP and Diamond DA-42 Twin Star, to the nearly 300 aircraft models offered by previous releases.
The Life Cycle Cost budgeting software assists users in various aspects of owning and operating an aircraft, including acquisition cost, operating costs, taxes and final aircraft residual value. The software also analyzes different acquisition and operating methods and tracks revenue for aircraft used in commercial operations. Users can select among eight tax-depreciation schedules, including the latest bonus depreciation and user-defined schedules.
