Where it fits well
- 155 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 411 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 275 nm with 4 occupants.
- 468 kg realistic payload proxy and 8 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Fast, quiet and IFR-capable with strong cabin flexibility, but the market is opaque and twin-engine component reserves are costly.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €338k per year ( €8450 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €426k per year ( €5325 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €514k per year ( €4283 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €646k per year ( €3589 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €439k 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
- Fast, quiet and IFR-capable with strong cabin flexibility, but the market is opaque and twin-engine component reserves are costly.
- €250k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Component life and mission-specific landing permissions dominate real-world utility.
Recommended missions
- Family and small-group touring with a weight-and-balance check for every trip.
- 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.
