Conklin &amp; de Decker will hold its sixth annual Exploring Aircraft Operating Costs Seminar on April 24 and 25 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company is inviting Heli-Expo 2018 attendees to register for the seminar this week at its booth (C4135).

 


The two-day seminar is designed to help management personnel learn how to control operating costs. That includes understanding different types of operating costs, converting data into useful information by identifying systems and methods, and developing new information into management tools.

 


At the conclusion of the seminar, attendees will have improved their knowledge to manage costs associated with an aviation operation and make more efficient use of their organization’s financial resources. Managers that find the course helpful come from accounting, maintenance, inventory, and operations divisions, according to Conklin &amp; de Decker. Seminar attendees will also be able to receive NBAA Certified Aviation Manager credit.

 


Registration includes a $100 discount on the $995 per person rate until April 3. Additionally, Conklin &amp; de Decker is offering during Heli-Expo a 10 percent discount on database products including Aircraft Cost Evaluator, Life Cycle Cost, Aircraft Performance Comparator, and 2018 State Tax Guide for General Aviation. Attendees who visit Conklin &amp; de Decker this week at Heli-Expo 2018 can enter a contest to win a new quadcopter camera drone package.
