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 — 5,495 hrs total time across ~67 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
Typical utilization
This airframe has averaged about 82 hrs/year over ~67 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.
Annual inspection may be overdue
The listing states the annual was due Nov 2025, about 9 months ago — confirm the aircraft has a current annual, and budget ~$2,500 if it still needs one.
Damage history
Reported in the listing — confirm against the airframe and engine logbooks.
This listing reports no prior damage. That is a positive sign, but the flag reflects the seller’s description, not the logbooks — confirm it during a pre-buy. Undocumented or unrepaired damage is a classic red flag, so have an independent inspector review the airframe and engine records before you commit.
Pre-purchase inspection guideCost 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
≈ $234 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$139,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,390 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $139,000 | $1,949/mo | $23,390/yr |
| 1/2 share | $69,500 | $1,475/mo | $17,695/yr |
| 1/3 share | $46,333 | $1,316/mo | $15,797/yr |
| 1/4 share | $34,750 | $1,237/mo | $14,848/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.
