Decided co-ownership makes sense?
Don't run it on spreadsheets.

5-by-5 handles scheduling, the flight log with auto tach cascade, maintenance, AD tracking, monthly billing, online payments, and member ledger — built for the partnerships and clubs that own together.

Estimates only. Actual costs vary by aircraft type, condition, mission profile, region, hangar availability, insurance market, and maintenance history. Fuel costs assume average price across the year. Loan calculation uses standard amortization; consult a lender for actual terms.
