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.

Engine Life

Based on 1,785 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 2,000 hr TBO for the Lycoming IO-360.

215 hrsto TBO

11% of TBO remaining

≈ 2.5 years to overhaul at its historical pace

215hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~90 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$1,300/yr · ~$13/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($26,000) spread over 2,000 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 5,660 hrs total time across ~63 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈90 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 90 hrs/year over ~63 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

Annual inspection

Required every 12 calendar months. Read off the listing's stated annual-due date — confirm against the logbooks.

Jun 2026Verify

Annual inspection may be overdue

The listing states the annual was due Jun 2026, about 3 months ago — confirm the aircraft has a current annual, and budget ~$2,500 if it still needs one.

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

$1,998/mo$23,980/yr

≈ $240 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 $8,980 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$68,000$1,998/mo$23,980/yr
1/2 share$34,000$1,499/mo$17,990/yr
1/3 share$22,667$1,333/mo$15,993/yr
1/4 share$17,000$1,250/mo$14,995/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.
