Common questions
What does it cost to co-own a small plane?
It depends on the aircraft and how many partners share it. SplitWing computes your buy-in (your share of the purchase price), your share of the monthly fixed costs — insurance, hangar, maintenance reserves — and your effective cost per flying hour. In the example above, a quarter share of a 1977 Piper Lance is a $59,373 buy-in and about $480 a month.
How is the cost per flying hour calculated?
Fuel, oil, and maintenance reserves for the hours you actually fly, plus your share of the fixed costs spread across those hours. Fly more and the fixed costs spread thinner, so your per-hour cost falls.
How do partners split the costs?
However you agree — equal halves, thirds, quarters, or custom shares, paid in cash or financed. SplitWing recomputes each partner's true number live as you change the split.
How much can co-owning save versus owning alone?
SplitWing shows the exact figure for your scenario. In the example, a quarter share saves about $17,250 a year versus owning the airplane alone.
