Where it fits well
- 311 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1200 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 804 nm with 4 occupants.
- 719 kg realistic payload proxy and 7 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
The simplest route into owner-flown jet travel, but runway, cabin and maximum-fuel payload remain limiting.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €218k per year ( €5450 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €266k per year ( €3325 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €314k per year ( €2617 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €386k per year ( €2144 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €311k 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 simplest route into owner-flown jet travel, but runway, cabin and maximum-fuel payload remain limiting.
- €170k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1036 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.
