Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 3,050 hrs total time across ~51 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 60 hrs/year over ~51 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

Damage history

Reported in the listing — confirm against the airframe and engine logbooks.

This listing reports prior damage. Properly repaired damage does not automatically disqualify an aircraft, but it can affect value, insurability, and resale. Ask the seller for the repair records (and any FAA Form 337s / STCs), and have a pre-buy inspection focus on the repaired area and the surrounding structure.

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.

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,985 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) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
