Where it fits well
- 389 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1300 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 871 nm with 4 occupants.
- 700 kg realistic payload proxy and 7 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
An accessible and efficient single-pilot jet, but TAP coverage, inspections and avionics upgrades dominate lifecycle economics.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €364k per year ( €9100 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €422k per year ( €5275 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €480k per year ( €4000 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €567k per year ( €3150 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €341k 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
- An accessible and efficient single-pilot jet, but TAP coverage, inspections and avionics upgrades dominate lifecycle economics.
- €180k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1010 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.
