Big data analytics for general aviation

By General Aviation News Staff · August 3, 2021 ·

Planephd.com has launched its intelligence-based data solutions for the general aviation market, tracking GA costs, values, market trends, and other key metrics, according to company officials.

Planephd.com brings together data from multiple industry sources to provide transactional data, such as the state of the market, the value of airframes, avionics, OEM trends, and other aircraft modifications. This allows “highly precise market predictions,” officials said.

“Planephd is the culmination of years of data harvesting in a Skunkworks-style development that now allows us to build an unprecedented database and comprehensive mining tool for general aviation aircraft from Super Cubs to G550s,” said Pete Ring, Managing Partner.

As part of a “data transparency campaign,” Planephd.com has published a homepage for every aircraft in the United States. Users can “claim your plane” and assume ownership of their aircraft on the Planephd website, entitling them to update aircraft specs as appropriate and even write reviews on their make and model, sharing feedback on everything from the airframe, avionics, and even STC performance with the community at large.

    Just remember; when a product is “Free” you are actually the ‘product’.

    But I’m sure it has lots of value.

    What,exactly does this paragraph say?

    “…a homepage for every aircraft in the United States. Users can “claim your plane” and assume ownership of their aircraft on the Planephd website, entitling them to update aircraft specs as appropriate and even write reviews on their make and model, sharing feedback on everything from the airframe, avionics, and even STC performance with the community at large.”

    Is this just sloppy writing or is Planehd through GA News offering an imaginary title to existing private property?

      You are kidding right? Did you try the website? They have a list of N numbers and the planes to which they are assigned. You can claim the record that designates your plane and N number. Then you can fill out the details about your plane.
