Where it fits well
- 122 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 515 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 345 nm with 4 occupants.
- 273 kg realistic payload proxy and 4 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
A modern and highly supportable trainer, but flight-school utilization, engine conversions and avionics can distort age-based values.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €42k per year ( €1038 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €47k per year ( €589 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €53k per year ( €439 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €61k per year ( €339 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €32k 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 modern and highly supportable trainer, but flight-school utilization, engine conversions and avionics can distort age-based values.
- €15k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 497 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.
- 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.
