How this stacks up

1/5 key specs
Key information is missing — ask the seller about hours, engine time, and registration
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.
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
≈ $252 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)
$315,000 to buy (the asking price)
At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $10,150 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.
| Ownership | Buy-in | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full ownership (sole) | $315,000 | $2,096/mo | $25,150/yr |
| 1/2 share | $157,500 | $1,548/mo | $18,575/yr |
| 1/3 share | $105,000 | $1,365/mo | $16,383/yr |
| 1/4 share | $78,750 | $1,274/mo | $15,288/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.
