Why PlaneFit exists
Information about buying and owning an aircraft is too often fragmented and unclear. Specifications live in brochures, honest operating costs live in forum threads, prices live in listings, and the trade-offs that actually decide a purchase are scattered everywhere and nowhere. With technology we try to help: one structured database, the same transparent assumptions applied to every model, and tools that make aircraft comparable on equal terms.
It is not all perfect, and we do not pretend it is. Every figure on PlaneFit is an indicative planning aid, and every buyer must do their own verification, the aircraft flight manual, maintenance records, a qualified pre-buy inspection. But at least there is now a clear starting point for the research that comes before those steps.
What we build
PlaneFit combines a proprietary aircraft database with transparent mission scoring, ownership-cost scenarios and practical range tools. It is designed as a research starting point: broad enough to discover alternatives and structured enough for humans and AI systems to understand why one aircraft fits better than another.
Independence and commercial links
PlaneFit is not an aircraft broker or seller. Links to third-party marketplaces help users continue their research; they do not turn an asking price into a verified valuation or a model-level estimate into advice about a specific airframe.
PlaneFit Editorial Team
The PlaneFit Editorial Team is the public editorial identity responsible for turning the structured aircraft record into buyer-facing explanations. It is a team designation, not a claim that an unnamed individual holds aviation, engineering or financial credentials. PlaneFit, operated by Luminibus S.r.l.s., remains the publisher.
Who reviews the pages
Editorial reviews are maintained by the PlaneFit team. Every reviewed page links back to this section and carries its own revision date, so a reader can distinguish newly checked analysis from an older catalogue record.
How sources and automation are used
Model identity, certified limits and published specifications are checked against the source links shown on the page, favouring manufacturer documents, flight manuals and aviation-authority records. Software normalises units, calculates planning scenarios and assembles tables. Automation does not create an undisclosed source, a qualification or a market quote: editorial conclusions are written and reviewed separately, and calculated passages are labelled as estimates.
Why we publish the analysis
The purpose is to help a buyer reject a poor mission fit earlier, compare trade-offs consistently and identify the questions that still require an instructor, maintenance organisation, insurer or pre-buy specialist. PlaneFit does not publish pages merely to cover every possible keyword.
Limits and corrections
Aircraft records are versioned and reviewed over time, but a source may describe a particular configuration or reference condition rather than every aircraft carrying the same marketing name. To request a correction, identify the model, field, evidence and applicable configuration on the contact page. We review the evidence, update the affected page only, and change that page's revision date when the correction alters what it says.
