Where it fits well
- 175 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 1225 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 821 nm with 4 occupants.
- 461 kg realistic payload proxy and 4 seats define the usable cabin mission.
Key figures
Indicative planning data, compiled 2026-07. Verify against the AFM and records.
| Seats | 4 |
| Realistic payload with mission fuel | 461 kg |
| Advertised range | 1225 nm |
| Practical planning radius (4 people) | 821 nm |
| Cruise speed | 175 kt |
| Runway need | ~649 m |
| Pressurised | No |
| Fuel | Jet A-1 |
| Fixed annual base | €42k |
| Direct cost per flight hour | €310 |
The ownership trade-off
Efficient twin-engine capability and modern systems, but cabin payload and maintenance complexity remain significant constraints.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €54k per year ( €1360 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €67k per year ( €835 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €79k per year ( €660 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €98k per year ( €543 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €78k 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
- Efficient twin-engine capability and modern systems, but cabin payload and maintenance complexity remain significant constraints.
- €42k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 649 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.
- Recreational, training or personal travel where operating efficiency is more important than airline-like speed.
