How The Money Is Raised

Hungry Pilot Partner Stores

Our mission is to provide funding to promote business development at general aviation airports; lower the operational costs of flying; and make flying safer and more affordable to the next generation of pilots in the United States of America.

Hungry Pilot earns a small commission (2.5% to 4%) when our web site www.hungrypilot.com is used as a referral to the businesses listed on our site.  When purchases are made after clicking on the companies listed as partner stores on our web site, Hungry Pilot will earn a commission which will be used for the Hungry Pilot Loan Fund.  100% of the after tax commissions earned is rolled into the Hungry Pilot Loan Fund.

Public-Private Sustainability
 

As can be seen by these forward looking assumptions, the Hungry Pilot Loan Fund is a public-private partnership system with two revenue streams dedicated for the sole use of providing economic opportunities at general aviation airports.

Forward Thinking Assumptions:

1. 10% of the public use Airport Managers (700 airports) in the country will participate in the Hungry Pilot Loan program each month. Note: This is not necessarily the same 10% of Airport Managers every month.

2. These 700 Airport Managers will promote the Hungry Pilot Loan program to twenty airport businesses, tenants, and pilots. Note: This is not necessarily the same 20 airport businesses, tenants, and pilots every month.  (700*20=14,000)

3. It is assumed these 14,000 tenants will spend $250 when they rent a car, purchases an airline ticket, books a hotel room, or buys office products such as: copy machine paper, printer cartridges, or electronic equipment (14,000*$250=$3,500,000).

4. These partner stores will pay a referral commission of approximately 3% for these sales that clicked through the Hungry Pilot web site.  ($3,500,000*3%=$105,000)

5. Annually these assumptions will provide $1,260,000 in funding that will be available to the Hungry Pilot Loan Fund.

6. After taxes, the funding available will be $882,000. ($1,260,000*70%=$882,000)

Below is a bar chart showing the anticipated revenues over a 20 year time period using these assumptions.
