Where it fits well
- 210 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 1129 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 756 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1076 kg realistic payload proxy and 10 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Faster and roomier than the Kodiak 100 while retaining utility, but its higher weight and fuel burn reduce the simplicity advantage.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €149k per year ( €3730 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €188k per year ( €2355 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €228k per year ( €1897 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €286k per year ( €1591 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €211k 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
- Faster and roomier than the Kodiak 100 while retaining utility, but its higher weight and fuel burn reduce the simplicity advantage.
- €110k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 309 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.
