3/5 key specs
Most key specs are provided; verify any missing details with the seller
This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.
Airframe time
Average over the aircraft's life — 1,481 hrs total time across ~48 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
Low-time for its age
This airframe has averaged about 31 hrs/year over ~48 years — light use for a personal aircraft. Fewer hours can mean lighter wear, but aircraft that sit also risk dried seals, corrosion, and stale fuel-system components. Ask how regularly it's flown and what the recent annual inspections found.
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
≈ $234 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$140,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,400 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $140,000 | $1,950/mo | $23,400/yr |
| 1/2 share | $70,000 | $1,475/mo | $17,700/yr |
| 1/3 share | $46,667 | $1,317/mo | $15,800/yr |
| 1/4 share | $35,000 | $1,238/mo | $14,850/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.
