§ Savings Advisor

How to spend less where you spend most

Est. reachable savings: ~$3,200 / yr
Personalized to your mix — sourced, educational best-practice, never a substitute for your A&P or POH.
Fuel · your #1 spend
~$1,800/yr

Lean-of-peak operation and altitude/power planning on your longer legs. Your engine monitor shows rich-of-peak cruise on most flights.

Source: Continental IO-550 operating guidance; APS/Savvy references.
Maintenance · #2 spend
~$900/yr

Shops near KDED quote $2,900–$4,400 for an SR22 annual; your last annual ran $4,400. Owner-assisted teardown/reassembly is worth a conversation.

Source: regional shop benchmark; FAA Part 43 App. A owner-allowed items.
Insurance · fixed
~$500/yr

You're due to re-shop — hull value, recurrent training, and hangared status all move the premium. Reminder set for renewal in 60 days.

Source: market re-shop guidance; carrier underwriting factors.
Your 2025 Ownership Statement
AI-narrated: "142 hours, $47,020 all-in, $331/hr — up 8% YoY, driven mainly by the March prop overhaul." Export for taxes, a partnership, or a leaseback.
Figures are compiled from owner-submitted receipts and third-party flight data and are shown as recorded — an informational cost history, not an appraisal, tax document, or financial advice. Every figure links to its source receipt and is editable. Cost-saving guidance is educational best-practice and is not a substitute for your A&P/IA or the aircraft POH. Aggregate benchmarks are anonymized and cell-suppressed below the minimum cohort size.
