This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, 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, 100 hrs/yr fuel + oil. Your actual costs will vary.
As a sole owner
≈ $226 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$60,000 to buy (the asking price)
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $60,000 | $1,883/mo | $22,600/yr |
| 1/2 share | $30,000 | $1,442/mo | $17,300/yr |
| 1/3 share | $20,000 | $1,294/mo | $15,533/yr |
| 1/4 share | $15,000 | $1,221/mo | $14,650/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.
