Where it fits well
- 330 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1730 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1159 nm with 4 occupants.
- 275 kg realistic payload proxy and 6 seats define the usable cabin mission.
Key figures
Indicative planning data, compiled 2026-07. Verify against the AFM and records.
| Seats | 6 |
| Realistic payload with mission fuel | 275 kg |
| Advertised range | 1730 nm |
| Practical planning radius (4 people) | 1159 nm |
| Cruise speed | 330 kt |

| Pressurised | Yes |
| Fuel | Jet A-1 |
| Fixed annual base | €110k |
| Direct cost per flight hour | €880 |
The ownership trade-off
Very fast and technologically advanced, but high-speed fuel flow and premium maintenance make short annual utilization uneconomic.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €145k per year ( €3630 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €180k per year ( €2255 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €216k per year ( €1797 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €268k per year ( €1491 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €203k 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
- Very fast and technologically advanced, but high-speed fuel flow and premium maintenance make short annual utilization uneconomic.
- €110k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 726 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.
