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. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$1,891/mo$22,695/yr

≈ $227 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$69,500 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,695 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$69,500	$1,891/mo	$22,695/yr
1/2 share	$34,750	$1,446/mo	$17,348/yr
1/3 share	$23,167	$1,297/mo	$15,565/yr
1/4 share	$17,375	$1,223/mo	$14,674/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) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
