Where it fits well
- 375 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1125 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 754 nm with 4 occupants.
- 450 kg realistic payload proxy and 6 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Remarkably efficient and compact, but the tiny fleet, manufacturer history and specialist support create liquidity and maintenance risk.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €224k per year ( €5600 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €274k per year ( €3425 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €324k per year ( €2700 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €399k per year ( €2217 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €310k 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
- Remarkably efficient and compact, but the tiny fleet, manufacturer history and specialist support create liquidity and maintenance risk.
- €165k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 657 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.
