Where it fits well
- 441 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 2100 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1407 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1667 kg realistic payload proxy and 12 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
A strong cabin and runway combination with broad support, but professional operation and engine programmes create high fixed costs.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €479k per year ( €11975 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €599k per year ( €7488 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €719k per year ( €5992 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €899k per year ( €4994 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €635k 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
- A strong cabin and runway combination with broad support, but professional operation and engine programmes create high fixed costs.
- €350k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1085 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.
