of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 13 of the 36 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 23 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 40 figures, never sentences; 339 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per aircraft type: acquisition (new list and pre-owned asking), fixed annual (crew, hangar, hull and liability insurance, training, management fee), variable per hour (fuel, engine programme, airframe maintenance reserve) - each from a publisher that states it - and from those rows the total cost per hour AT A GIVEN ANNUAL UTILISATION, which is the number the charter index is compared against. The cross-publisher spread for the same aircraft is itself the finding: the publishers disagree by a factor of two on the same airframe, and nobody prints that.", "embed": "
