What the numbers show

Operating margin fell compared with the previous period, mostly on N4521K.

N4521K−$25,229 est

It went from $21,384 to -$3,845; the largest part was less revenue per hour.

Ideas schools in this spot often explore

  • Discounts, packages, or a change in the mix of dual and rental flying that move revenue per hour.
  • The bills behind the cost line that moved most, and whether they're one-off.
  • Which months in the period drove the change, and whether it repeats each year.

Ideas, not recommendations. Your situation may differ.

N4521K's next inspection falls in the same two weeks as other aircraft's.

N4521K flew 48% of the fleet's hours, and the others are due within days of it, so they could all be down at once.

Ideas schools in this spot often explore

  • Bringing one inspection forward a few days so the aircraft aren't down at the same time.
  • Whether the shop can take two aircraft in the same week, and how long each would take.
  • Which bookings fall in those weeks and could move to other aircraft.

Ideas, not recommendations. Your situation may differ.
