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.
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
≈ $236 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$160,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,600 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $160,000 | $1,967/mo | $23,600/yr |
| 1/2 share | $80,000 | $1,483/mo | $17,800/yr |
| 1/3 share | $53,333 | $1,322/mo | $15,867/yr |
| 1/4 share | $40,000 | $1,242/mo | $14,900/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.
