Buying Tips

  • Engine time is the #1 value factor — an engine overhaul costs $22K-$40K for most piston engines (Lycoming/Continental).
  • Complete logbooks add 20-30% to aircraft value. Missing logs = significant discount and harder resale.
  • Corrosion inspection is critical for any aircraft over 20 years old, especially coastal aircraft — spar corrosion repair can cost $10K-$30K.
  • Glass cockpit (G1000, Avidyne IFD) adds $30K-$80K premium over steam gauge versions of the same model.
  • Pre-purchase inspection typically costs $1,500-$3,000 for a piston single — always budget for this before committing to buy.
  • Damage history reduces value by 10-30% depending on severity — always check FAA records and ask for repair documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a single-engine airplane cost?
Used single-engine piston aircraft range from $18K for a basic Cessna 150 to $700K+ for a new Cirrus SR22T. The most popular models — Cessna 172 Skyhawk ($50K-$150K), Piper Cherokee ($40K-$100K), and Cessna 182 Skylane ($80K-$200K) — offer the best balance of price and capability. Glass cockpit aircraft command a $30K-$80K premium over steam gauge versions.
What is the best first airplane to buy?
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most popular first airplane — forgiving handling, low operating costs ($100-$140/hr), widely available parts and training. A good used Cessna 172 costs $50K-$120K. The Piper Cherokee PA-28 ($40K-$90K) and Diamond DA40 ($120K-$220K) are also excellent choices for new owners looking for reliable, easy-to-fly aircraft.
How much does it cost to own a small airplane?
Budget $12,000-$25,000 per year at 100 flight hours, including fuel ($4,500-$7,000 at $6/gal), hangar ($2,400-$6,000 depending on region), insurance ($1,500-$3,000), annual inspection ($1,500-$3,000), and maintenance reserves ($2,000-$5,000). Total hourly cost works out to $120-$250/hr depending on the aircraft type and how much you fly.
What is the cheapest airplane to buy and fly?
The cheapest airplanes to buy are Cessna 150/152 trainers ($18K-$45K) and older Piper Cherokee 140 models ($25K-$50K). Operating costs run $80-$120/hr. For a four-seater, the Cessna 172 offers the lowest total cost of ownership. Luscombe, Aeronca Champ, and Piper J-3 Cub are even cheaper to operate but carry only two people.
Single engine piston vs. multi engine — which should I buy?
For most private owners, a single-engine piston offers lower purchase price (50-70% less), lower operating costs (single engine overhaul vs. two), lower insurance, and simpler maintenance. Multi-engine aircraft provide engine redundancy but require a multi-engine rating and have higher total costs. A Cirrus SR22 with CAPS parachute offers comparable safety to a light twin at half the operating cost.
