Where it fits well
- 310 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1720 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1152 nm with 4 occupants.
- 721 kg realistic payload proxy and 8 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
A highly proven business platform with excellent runway performance, but twin-turbine economics require meaningful annual utilization.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €282k per year ( €7050 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €354k per year ( €4425 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €426k per year ( €3550 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €534k per year ( €2967 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €387k 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
- A highly proven business platform with excellent runway performance, but twin-turbine economics require meaningful annual utilization.
- €210k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 643 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.
Recommended missions
- Family and small-group touring with a weight-and-balance check for every trip.
- Longer regional missions, with reserves and payload reducing brochure range.
- Time-sensitive business travel where dispatch reliability justifies the cost.
