Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 4,600 hrs total time across ~84 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈55 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 55 hrs/year over ~84 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

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.

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

$1,929/mo$23,150/yr

≈ $232 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$115,000 to buy (the asking price)

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

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$115,000	$1,929/mo	$23,150/yr
1/2 share	$57,500	$1,465/mo	$17,575/yr
1/3 share	$38,333	$1,310/mo	$15,717/yr
1/4 share	$28,750	$1,232/mo	$14,788/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.
