Cost to own

As a sole owner

$1,915/mo$22,980/yr

≈ $230 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

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.
