Where it fits well
- 451 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 2165 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1451 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1643 kg realistic payload proxy and 10 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Near-midsize performance with single-pilot capability, but the Gen3 market is pre-delivery and programme costs remain high.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €466k per year ( €11650 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €582k per year ( €7275 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €698k per year ( €5817 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €872k per year ( €4844 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €627k 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
- Near-midsize performance with single-pilot capability, but the Gen3 market is pre-delivery and programme costs remain high.
- €350k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1039 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.
