Where it fits well
- 120 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 700 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 504 nm with 2 occupants.
- 323 kg realistic payload proxy and 2 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Superb short-field access and useful load, but tandem seating and long-trip comfort are compromises.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €24k per year ( €605 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €30k per year ( €380 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €37k per year ( €305 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €46k per year ( €255 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €36k per year at 80 hours. Condition, engine time remaining and avionics matter more than the year itself — price the aircraft in front of you, not the model.
Limitations to price honestly
- Superb short-field access and useful load, but tandem seating and long-trip comfort are compromises.
- €18k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 200 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.
Recommended missions
- Solo or two-person flying where low complexity matters more than cabin capacity.
- Short and medium regional trips, accepting fuel stops when conditions require.
- Recreational, training or personal travel where operating efficiency is more important than airline-like speed.
