The implemented relation is Required package price = complete training-package cost ÷ (1 − target margin), evaluated from Included dual flight hours, Complete delivery cost per dual flight hour, Ground school, simulator and materials cost, Administration, testing support and contingency, Target training-package gross margin (%) to produce Required pilot-training package price. Disclose included hours, aircraft type, fuel, exams, expiry, refunds and overrun rates clearly. The model omits unentered taxes, cash timing, legal constraints and market uncertainty. Compare the output with company records and a downside scenario before committing resources.
The decision this tool supports
Set a sustainable pilot-training package price from aircraft, instructor and ground-school costs.
Why the business model works

Inputs and operating assumptions
This model uses Included dual flight hours, Complete delivery cost per dual flight hour, Ground school, simulator and materials cost, Administration, testing support and contingency, Target training-package gross margin. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Required package price = complete training-package cost ÷ (1 − target margin)
What the calculator produces
