Field notes
The homepage frames fuel-only estimates as incomplete and names several costs that accumulate alongside flying: hangar, insurance, the annual inspection, and engine overhaul reserves. It lists five aircraft presets plus an option to enter custom numbers, and links to separate sections for trip fuel, partnership splitting, maintenance scheduling, and Dallas–Fort Worth annual prices. The extract does not expose the calculators themselves.
