Financial Projections

Proof of Concept: Louisville Aviation

Louisville Aviation Operations
  • 12 Cessna 172s
  • Aircraft rental: $176/hour
  • CFI rate: $40/hour
  • Total per hour: $216/hour
  • 3 flights per day
  • 1.3 hours per flight
  • 5 days per week
  • 4 weeks per month
Monthly Revenue Calculation
  • Daily flights: 12 aircraft × 3.9 = 46.8 hours/day
  • Weekly flights: 46.8 × 5 = 234 hours/week
  • Monthly flights: 234 × 4 = 936 hours/month
  • Monthly revenue: 936 × $216 = $202,176
  • Avindara fee (1%): $202,176 × 0.01 = $2,021.76/month
Phase 0 Projections

Conservative MRR Model (1 school per state)

  • 3 states (KY, IN, OH)
  • 1 school per state
  • Avg 936 flight hours/month per school
  • Avg billable rate: $216/hr
  • 1% Avindara fee = $2.16/hr
  • Monthly MRR: 936 hrs × 3 schools × $2.16 = $6,065.28
