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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Commander 112A

Is the Commander 112A a good four-seat personal aircraft?
The Commander 112A (1972+) is a four-seat retractable with a 200-hp Lycoming IO-360. Cruise is 150 knots. Used prices of $40-70K are affordable. The low-wing design with retractable gear offers good performance per dollar.
