1978 Commander 112A

The Commander 112A is a four-seat, low-wing, single-engine piston aircraft from the Rockwell Commander line. Powered by a Lycoming IO-360 engine producing 200 horsepower, the 112A burns approximately 10 gallons per hour and provides a comfortable, well-built flying experience. The low-wing design, retractable or fixed gear (depending on variant), and wide cabin make it a comfortable cross-country machine. Variable hourly costs average around $120, with annual fixed costs near $15,000, making the Commander 112A an affordable option in the four-seat category. Its solid all-metal construction and spacious cabin offer a premium feel at used prices that are often below comparable Cessna and Piper models. The Commander 112A appeals to pilots seeking a well-built four-seat aircraft at a value price. While less common than mainstream brands, the Commander enjoys a loyal owner community that appreciates its quality construction, comfortable cabin, and honest handling characteristics.
