How this stacks up

1 to ask about

  • Listed today

    Fresh to market — early in the listing cycle

  • Annual may be overdue

    The listing states the annual was due Dec 2025 — confirm the aircraft has a current annual before you commit

  • 3/5 key specs

    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 — 1,450 hrs total time across ~30 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈48 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 48 hrs/year over ~30 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.

Dec 2025Verify

Annual inspection may be overdue

The listing states the annual was due Dec 2025, about 8 months ago — confirm the aircraft has a current annual, and budget ~$2,500 if it still needs one.

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

$1,910/mo$22,920/yr

≈ $229 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$92,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,920 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$92,000$1,910/mo$22,920/yr
1/2 share$46,000$1,455/mo$17,460/yr
1/3 share$30,667$1,303/mo$15,640/yr
1/4 share$23,000$1,228/mo$14,730/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.
