What should I check when buying a used Commander 112?
On a used Commander 112, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Commander 112

Aircraft overview

The Commander 112 is a four seat, low wing, retractable gear single originally developed by North American Rockwell, later Rockwell International, as part of the Commander single engine line. The type first flew in 1970 and entered production in the early 1970s, with the original Commander 112 preceding later related models such as the 112A, 112B, 112TC and 114. Its role is personal and business touring, positioned for buyers who value cabin space, solid handling and retractable gear capability more than outright speed.

Performance & specifications

The standard Commander 112 is powered by a 200 hp Lycoming IO-360 engine driving a constant speed propeller. Typical cruise figures are about 125 to 135 knots, depending on altitude, power setting, airframe condition and installed equipment. Published range is commonly in the 500 nautical mile class with reserves, while service ceiling is typically listed around 14,000 feet. Useful load varies materially by aircraft, equipment and modifications, but many examples fall roughly around the 900 lb class. Buyers should verify actual empty weight, fuel capacity and performance data from the specific aircraft records and pilot operating handbook.

Cabin & avionics

The Commander 112 is known for a relatively wide cabin for its class, with seating for four and large entry doors that make access easier than in many comparable retractable singles. The cabin layout is conventional, with two front seats, a rear bench and a baggage area suitable for touring use within weight and balance limits. Factory avionics were analog and period typical. Used aircraft commonly show varied upgrades, including Garmin GNS or GTN navigators, Garmin G5 or GI 275 instruments, Aspen displays, modern audio panels, ADS-B equipment and upgraded autopilots. Integrated suites such as Garmin G1000 or Garmin Perspective are not typical factory installations for the Commander 112.

Buying & value

Prospective buyers should separate the original Commander 112 from later 112A, 112B, turbocharged 112TC and larger engined 114 models, since performance, weights and values differ. Inspection priorities include landing gear rigging and maintenance history, corrosion checks, fuel system condition, engine logs, propeller status, window and door seals, and the quality of any avionics or panel work. Commander type club support and parts availability are important considerations. On PlaneFox, current Commander 112 asking prices average about EUR 117,000, with observed listings from about EUR 77,000 to EUR 150,000, placing it as a roomy, refined used retractable rather than a high speed cross country aircraft.
