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 320 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,700 hr TBO for the Continental IO-520.

1,380 hrsto TBO

81% of TBO remaining

≈ 12 years to overhaul at its historical pace

1,380hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~113 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$1,647/yr · ~$16/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($28,000) spread over 1,700 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 5,520 hrs total time across ~49 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈113 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 113 hrs/year over ~49 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.

Nov 2025Verify

Annual inspection may be overdue

The listing states the annual was due Nov 2025, about 9 months ago — confirm the aircraft has a current annual, and budget ~$2,500 if it still needs one.

Damage history

Reported in the listing — confirm against the airframe and engine logbooks.

No damage history reportedNone reported

This listing reports no prior damage. That is a positive sign, but the flag reflects the seller’s description, not the logbooks — confirm it during a pre-buy. Undocumented or unrepaired damage is a classic red flag, so have an independent inspector review the airframe and engine records before you commit.

Pre-purchase inspection guide

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

$2,325/mo$27,897/yr

≈ $279 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$425,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $12,897 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$425,000	$2,325/mo	$27,897/yr
1/2 share	$212,500	$1,662/mo	$19,949/yr
1/3 share	$141,667	$1,442/mo	$17,299/yr
1/4 share	$106,250	$1,331/mo	$15,974/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.
