Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 3,846 hrs total time across ~63 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈61 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 61 hrs/year over ~63 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

Annual inspection

Required every 12 calendar months. Read off the listing's stated annual-due date — confirm against the logbooks.

Oct 2026Due soon

Annual inspection due next month

The listing states the next annual is due Oct 2026 (next month) — plan on a fresh annual (~$2,500) soon after purchase, or ask whether it has already been completed.

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

$1,987/mo$23,839/yr

≈ $238 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$183,900 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,839 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$183,900$1,987/mo$23,839/yr
1/2 share$91,950$1,493/mo$17,920/yr
1/3 share$61,300$1,329/mo$15,946/yr
1/4 share$45,975$1,247/mo$14,960/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.
