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

$2,075/mo$24,900/yr

≈ $249 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$200,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,900 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$200,000$2,075/mo$24,900/yr
1/2 share$100,000$1,538/mo$18,450/yr
1/3 share$66,667$1,358/mo$16,300/yr
1/4 share$50,000$1,269/mo$15,225/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.
