Cost to own
Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, 100 hrs/yr fuel + oil. Your actual costs will vary.
As a sole owner
≈ $231 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$105,000 to buy (the asking price)
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $105,000 | $1,921/mo | $23,050/yr |
| 1/2 share | $52,500 | $1,460/mo | $17,525/yr |
| 1/3 share | $35,000 | $1,307/mo | $15,683/yr |
| 1/4 share | $26,250 | $1,230/mo | $14,763/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.
