Engine Life

Based on 142 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,800 hr TBO for the Continental O-200.

1,658 hrsto TBO

92% of TBO remaining

Engine reserve budget~$778/yr · ~$8/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($14,000) spread over 1,800 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

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

$1,981/mo$23,773/yr

≈ $238 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$99,500 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,773 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$99,500$1,981/mo$23,773/yr
1/2 share$49,750$1,491/mo$17,887/yr
1/3 share$33,167$1,327/mo$15,924/yr
1/4 share$24,875$1,245/mo$14,943/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.
