Engine Life

Based on 500 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 2,000 hr TBO for the Lycoming IO-540.

1,500 hrsto TBO

75% of TBO remaining

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.

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

$2,071/mo$24,850/yr

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

$135,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,850 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$135,000	$2,071/mo	$24,850/yr
1/2 share	$67,500	$1,535/mo	$18,425/yr
1/3 share	$45,000	$1,357/mo	$16,283/yr
1/4 share	$33,750	$1,268/mo	$15,213/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.
