Where it fits well
- 180 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 1100 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 737 nm with 4 occupants.
- 347 kg realistic payload proxy and 4 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Improved cabin and systems over G1, but Avidyne, CAPS and engine condition remain the core valuation variables.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €56k per year ( €1388 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €67k per year ( €836 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €78k per year ( €653 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €95k per year ( €530 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €60k 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
- Improved cabin and systems over G1, but Avidyne, CAPS and engine condition remain the core valuation variables.
- €32k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 620 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.
- Recreational, training or personal travel where operating efficiency is more important than airline-like speed.
