Engine Life

Based on 1,840 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 2,000 hr TBO for the Lycoming O-360.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 2,970 hrs total time across ~59 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 50 hrs/year over ~59 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.

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,900 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

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.
