Where it fits well
- 183 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 1169 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 783 nm with 4 occupants.
- 431 kg realistic payload proxy and 5 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Five seats, CAPS and strong market liquidity make it highly usable, but FIKI, CAPS calendar and engine status strongly affect value.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €51k per year ( €1270 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €64k per year ( €795 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €76k per year ( €637 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €96k per year ( €531 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €69k 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
- Five seats, CAPS and strong market liquidity make it highly usable, but FIKI, CAPS calendar and engine status strongly affect value.
- €38k 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.
