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

$1,879/mo$22,549/yr

≈ $225 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$54,900 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,549 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$54,900	$1,879/mo	$22,549/yr
1/2 share	$27,450	$1,440/mo	$17,275/yr
1/3 share	$18,300	$1,293/mo	$15,516/yr
1/4 share	$13,725	$1,220/mo	$14,637/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.
