Where it fits well
- 403 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1998 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1339 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1217 kg realistic payload proxy and 10 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Good cabin and runway access at a low used price, but ageing engines, avionics and inspections require a professional budget.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €586k per year ( €14650 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €670k per year ( €8375 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €754k per year ( €6283 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €880k per year ( €4889 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €463k 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
- Good cabin and runway access at a low used price, but ageing engines, avionics and inspections require a professional budget.
- €250k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1100 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.
