Commander 112A Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Commander 112A Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (10.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$6,200/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$15,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$120/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 2,000 hrs)$25,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

Buying a Used Commander 112A

Every Commander 112A faces a mandatory 2,000-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $25,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 2,000-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
