Engine Life

Based on 1,450 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,800 hr TBO for the Continental O-300.

350 hrsto TBO

19% of TBO remaining

≈ 4 years to overhaul at its historical pace

350hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~87 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$889/yr · ~$9/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($16,000) spread over 1,800 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 5,500 hrs total time across ~63 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈87 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 87 hrs/year over ~63 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

$2,003/mo$24,039/yr

≈ $240 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$115,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,039 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$115,000$2,003/mo$24,039/yr
1/2 share$57,500$1,502/mo$18,020/yr
1/3 share$38,333$1,334/mo$16,013/yr
1/4 share$28,750$1,251/mo$15,010/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.
