Engine Life

Based on 721 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 2,000 hr TBO for the Lycoming IO-540.

1,279 hrsto TBO

64% of TBO remaining

≈ 26 years to overhaul at its historical pace

1,279hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~49 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$1,500/yr · ~$15/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($30,000) spread over 2,000 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 2,580 hrs total time across ~53 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈49 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 49 hrs/year over ~53 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. Engine reserve from the panel above is folded into the split. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$2,022/mo$24,269/yr

≈ $243 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$76,900 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,269 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$76,900	$2,022/mo	$24,269/yr
1/2 share	$38,450	$1,511/mo	$18,135/yr
1/3 share	$25,633	$1,341/mo	$16,090/yr
1/4 share	$19,225	$1,256/mo	$15,067/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, engine reserve) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
