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
≈ $228 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$75,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,750 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $75,000 | $1,896/mo | $22,750/yr |
| 1/2 share | $37,500 | $1,448/mo | $17,375/yr |
| 1/3 share | $25,000 | $1,299/mo | $15,583/yr |
| 1/4 share | $18,750 | $1,224/mo | $14,688/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.
