Where it fits well
- 340 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1167 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 782 nm with 4 occupants.
- 500 kg realistic payload proxy and 6 seats define the usable cabin mission.
Key figures
Indicative planning data, compiled 2026-07. Verify against the AFM and records.
| Seats | 6 |
| Realistic payload with mission fuel | 500 kg |
| Advertised range | 1167 nm |
| Practical planning radius (4 people) | 782 nm |
| Cruise speed | 340 kt |
| Runway need | ~948 m |
| Pressurised | Yes |
| Fuel | Jet A-1 |
| Fixed annual base | €155k |
| Direct cost per flight hour | €1150 |
The ownership trade-off
Simple, proven and relatively economical for a jet, but cabin, payload and runway margins are limited.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €255k per year ( €6375 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €301k per year ( €3763 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €347k per year ( €2892 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €416k per year ( €2311 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €292k 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
- Simple, proven and relatively economical for a jet, but cabin, payload and runway margins are limited.
- €155k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 948 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.
