Commander 112A Aircraft under $500,000
Under $500k for a piston single is the high-end price band — typically modern composite singles (Cirrus SR22/SR22T from mid-2000s+), late-model Bonanza or Mooney with full glass, low-time airframes with current engine status and full mandate compliance. Highest acquisition cost in piston class but lowest pre-buy discovery risk.

About the 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.

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.
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.
