Most key specs are provided; verify any missing details with the seller
This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.
Airframe time
Average over the aircraft's life — 3,282 hrs total time across ~67 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
Typical utilization
This airframe has averaged about 49 hrs/year over ~67 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.
Cost to own
Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Your actual costs will vary.
As a sole owner
≈ $241 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$210,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,100 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $210,000 | $2,008/mo | $24,100/yr |
| 1/2 share | $105,000 | $1,504/mo | $18,050/yr |
| 1/3 share | $70,000 | $1,336/mo | $16,033/yr |
| 1/4 share | $52,500 | $1,252/mo | $15,025/yr |
Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
