01MISSION
What's the primary mission for your aircraft?
Pick the one that best describes how you'd use it most of the time. We'll handle the nuance later.
02RANGE
How long is a typical trip, one way?
This is the single biggest driver of aircraft category. Think of where you fly most often, not the longest trip you might ever take.
03PASSENGERS
How many people, on a typical trip?
Average load, not the once-a-year group charter. Cabin size and baggage volume scale with this number.
04UTILIZATION
Roughly how many hours per year do you expect to fly?
This is the number the entire own-vs-charter math hinges on. A rough estimate is fine; we'll model both sides of it.
05HOME BASE
Any airport constraints we should know about?
Mountain strips, short runways, and noise-restricted fields rule out otherwise-capable aircraft. This is where the conversation often starts and ends.
06TODAY
How are you flying today?
No wrong answer. This shapes how we frame the comparison.
06bWHAT'S PROMPTING THE LOOK
What's prompting the rethink?
If you already own, something brought you here. The honest answer helps us pitch a real solution rather than a generic one.
BEFORE WE GO FURTHER
Where should we send your proposal?
We're a small operator, not a lead-gen funnel. Our owner reviews every inquiry personally. We won't add you to a list, share your information, or follow up beyond your request.

Confidentiality. Your responses are reviewed by Mauna Hele's team. Nothing is shared with brokers, dealers, or marketing platforms. You can request deletion any time.
07THE BIG QUESTION
When you're not flying, would you let your plane work?
Charter offset can turn a six-figure annual cost into a near-zero one, or even positive cash flow. It also means strangers fly your aircraft. Some owners love the economics. Others won't trade exclusivity for any amount of money. Both answers are valid.
08ACQUISITION
How are you thinking about acquisition?
This shapes whether we recommend pre-owned or new, and how aggressively to model tax treatment.
09TIMELINE
When are you looking to move?
No pressure on the answer. Honest timing helps us match the right level of engagement.
10WHO'S AT THE TABLE
Who else is part of the decision?
So we know who to include in the conversation and what materials to prepare.
11ANYTHING ELSE
Anything else we should know?
Pets, medical equipment, specific aircraft you're already considering, a recurring route, a deadline. Texture is welcome. This question is optional.
Goes directly to our owner. No one else sees it.
