I need to find a publication that has all the necessary info for someone to compare and choose the right aircraft for the job.
Turboprop and jet.

Any ideas where to find it?

It doesn't exist at all. And if it does, don't trust it. Too many variables to take account of.

toffeez, you don't have to post your answer on all the logs I am posting
I got your view clearly but was still trying to see if someone else might have something to share.

Anyhow, I found it, had to call a couple of old chaps and reminded me where to find what, so no worries. There are annual publications that have this purpose.

And yes, certainly what I am talking about is not the same as having a professional that makes a living keeping up to date data of every aircraft sitting across the table with you and helping you make a decision, but the data is there, and it helps forming a picture and narrowing down to a few candidate models.

Hoped to get some help here, guess thats not the spirit in this forum anymore.

Try Conklin and Decker , they produce a very detailed, comprehensive program that does exactly what your’e looking for. Of course you should also get an experienced consultant to advise you with regards to the numerous other requirements, regulations ect…

At least this will help narrow down the aircraft choice for your specific mission requirement.

Good luck.

Worldrover,

BCA (Business and Commercial Aviation) puts out an issue once a year comparing most new and out of production aircraft, both turbo prop and jets. Its just a brief overview of the airplanes but it will help narrow your search. After you pick out a few possible candidates Conklin de Decker (sp) has a comparison tool that will give a more detailed cost analysis.

How stupid of me, I thought you wanted commercial aircraft numbers, not GA / corporate.
