Where it fits well
- 317 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1275 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 854 nm with 4 occupants.
- 717 kg realistic payload proxy and 7 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
The easiest path into owner-flown jet travel now has a more flexible cabin, but runway, payload and single-engine mission limits remain.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €230k per year ( €5750 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €280k per year ( €3500 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €330k per year ( €2750 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €405k per year ( €2250 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €325k 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
- The easiest path into owner-flown jet travel now has a more flexible cabin, but runway, payload and single-engine mission limits remain.
- €180k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 858 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.
