Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 3,906 hrs total time across ~70 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈56 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 56 hrs/year over ~70 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

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

$1,958/mo$23,500/yr

≈ $235 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$150,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,500 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$150,000$1,958/mo$23,500/yr
1/2 share$75,000$1,479/mo$17,750/yr
1/3 share$50,000$1,319/mo$15,833/yr
1/4 share$37,500$1,240/mo$14,875/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.
