I have a 1967 Piper Twin Comanche which is up for annual. How much should I expect to pay on average? I know there are a lot of variables in an annual but I'm looking for a run-of-the-mill figure. Thank you.
Good condition figure $2500.
Including first-time log-book and AD research?
Good condition figure $2500.
Sounds about right for an Apache assuming the ADs are inline and no surprises when the engine/gear is checked. Not a twinky, but same engines and about the same amount of old, expensive moving parts.
In this market, 2.5k buys the inspection but doesn't fix the squawks.
That's all an annual is is an inspection that comes with a light servicing. Anything else is extra, that's a given. That said, if you stay up on your squawks as they happen, there's no particular reason that an annual inspection need cost a great deal. The typical "annual" we did on our customers were routine and for the most part costs beyond were pre planned and put off until annual. Rarely is a 'found not in compliance' issue a surprise.
