Engine Life

Based on 690 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,800 hr TBO for the Lycoming TIO-540.

1,110 hrsto TBO

62% of TBO remaining

Engine reserve budget~$2,222/yr · ~$22/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($40,000) 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

$2,075/mo$24,902/yr

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

$68,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,902 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$68,000	$2,075/mo	$24,902/yr
1/2 share	$34,000	$1,538/mo	$18,451/yr
1/3 share	$22,667	$1,358/mo	$16,301/yr
1/4 share	$17,000	$1,269/mo	$15,226/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.
