Where it fits well
- 430 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1762 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1181 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1942 kg realistic payload proxy and 9 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Efficient engines and useful runway performance make it appealing, but engine programmes and inspection status remain decisive.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €509k per year ( €12725 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €601k per year ( €7513 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €693k per year ( €5775 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €831k per year ( €4617 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €529k 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
- Efficient engines and useful runway performance make it appealing, but engine programmes and inspection status remain decisive.
- €300k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1070 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.
