Charter Back Offset · Fit Assessment
Is your aircraft a fit for CBO?
The Charter Back Offset turns the time your aircraft sits idle into charter revenue that applies against your hangar, insurance, and crew costs. The less you fly it personally, the more idle time we can offset. Four quick questions and we'll tell you straight whether CBO makes sense — then book a real conversation to model the numbers.
Just your personal use — not charter hours. The less you fly it, the more idle time Haven can offset with charter revenue.
CBO works best when your aircraft sits idle a lot of the year. We charter it during your idle time and apply that revenue against your fixed costs.

Your CBO Fit Assessment
Strong FitLooks like a strong CBO candidate.
125 hrs/yr of personal use still leaves room for charter activity around your trips. Whether the offset is meaningful for you depends on aircraft type, base market, and scheduling flexibility — a Haven Intro will tell you straight.
Why we don't quote a dollar figure.
Real CBO numbers depend on your specific aircraft, base, scheduling flexibility, and current charter demand in your market. Anyone offering a guaranteed return before a real conversation isn't being straight with you. Haven would rather tell you no than oversell.

Charter Back Offset · How it works
How Charter Back Offset actually works.
CBO turns the time your aircraft sits idle into charter revenue that applies against your hangar, insurance, and crew costs. How much offset is realistic depends on three things — aircraft, base market, and how much idle time you actually give the program.
Aircraft Type
Higher-value aircraft, higher per-hour offset.
A heavy jet earns more per charter hour than a light jet — but operating costs are also higher, so the comparison is always net, never gross. Haven models the actual aircraft, not the category.
Base Market
Where the aircraft sits drives demand.
A jet based near consistent charter demand fills idle hours faster than one in a thinner market. Same aircraft, different base, very different outcomes.
Your Availability
Idle time you offer = the ceiling.
Your trips always come first. The more flexibility you give the program around your idle weeks, the more charter revenue can run against your fixed costs.
Why we don't publish dollar ranges here
Anyone advertising a guaranteed CBO return before looking at your specific aircraft, base, and flying pattern is making it up. Haven models the actual numbers against your situation during a Schedule Haven Intro call — and we'll tell you straight if CBO isn't the right fit and Part 91 management is the better call.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does aircraft management cost?+
There is no single number — management cost depends on your aircraft type, how much you fly, where it is based, and which services you need. Haven builds each management agreement around the individual owner rather than a fixed package. The clearest way to get a real figure is a short call where we model it against your specific aircraft.
What is the Charter Back Offset (CBO)?+
The Charter Back Offset is Haven’s owner program where managed charter revenue is used to offset the fixed costs of owning an aircraft — hangar, insurance, and crew. When your aircraft is a fit for charter and you choose to make it available, that revenue can meaningfully reduce your cost of ownership.
What is the difference between Part 91 and Part 135 management?+
Part 91 covers private operation of your own aircraft. Part 135 is the FAA certificate that allows an aircraft to be chartered for hire. Haven manages aircraft under both — owners who only fly privately stay Part 91, and owners who want to offset costs through charter can place their aircraft on Haven’s ARGUS Gold-rated Part 135 certificate.
Does Haven offer fractional ownership?+
Yes. Fractional ownership is available, though it is not our primary model — most owners we work with own their aircraft outright and use Haven for full management. If a fractional structure fits your flying, we can walk you through the options.
Where does Haven manage aircraft?+
Haven operates from Amarillo, TX (KAMA), Green Bay, WI (KGRB), and Buffalo, NY (KBUF), and manages aircraft for owners across the United States.
