Where it fits well
- 120 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 600 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 432 nm with 3 occupants.
- 280 kg realistic payload proxy and 3 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Purpose-built efficiency, FADEC and a rear observer seat are attractive, but final certified range and cruise data remain less public than the established SR fleet.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €18k per year ( €445 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €22k per year ( €270 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €25k per year ( €212 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €31k per year ( €173 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €27k 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
- Purpose-built efficiency, FADEC and a rear observer seat are attractive, but final certified range and cruise data remain less public than the established SR fleet.
- €14k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 514 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.
Recommended missions
- Solo or two-person flying where low complexity matters more than cabin capacity.
- Short and medium regional trips, accepting fuel stops when conditions require.
- Recreational, training or personal travel where operating efficiency is more important than airline-like speed.
