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

$1,949/mo$23,390/yr

≈ $234 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$139,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,390 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$139,000$1,949/mo$23,390/yr
1/2 share$69,500$1,475/mo$17,695/yr
1/3 share$46,333$1,316/mo$15,797/yr
1/4 share$34,750$1,237/mo$14,848/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.
