Where it fits well
- 95 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 420 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 302 nm with 2 occupants.
- 161 kg realistic payload proxy and 2 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Simple and economical, but useful load is tight and corrosion or engine condition can dominate value.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €62k per year ( €1545 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €65k per year ( €813 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €68k per year ( €568 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €73k per year ( €406 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €20k 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
- Simple and economical, but useful load is tight and corrosion or engine condition can dominate value.
- €8k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 422 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.
