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.

Engine Life

Based on 654 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,500 hr TBO for the Continental O-470.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 5,448 hrs total time across ~46 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 118 hrs/year over ~46 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 Jun 2025, about 14 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.

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. Engine reserve from the panel above is folded into the split. Your actual costs will vary.

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $11,057 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

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, engine reserve) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
