Methodology & assumptions
Ownership cash = fixed + debt + hours × variable. Charter cost = hours × charter rate + additional fees. Crossover hours = (fixed + debt − charter fees) / (charter rate − variable), when economically meaningful.
Compares cash budgets, not an investment valuation. No resale proceeds or tax benefits. Access, flexibility and aircraft differences remain qualitative.
Methodology CJL-1.0. USD. Monthly payments in arrears where applicable. Calculations use full precision; displayed amounts are rounded to cents. No inputs are sent to generate reports.
