Where it fits well
- 406 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1178 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 789 nm with 4 occupants.
- 750 kg realistic payload proxy and 7 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
A spacious, professional-feeling very light jet, but range is modest and two-engine costs exceed single-engine alternatives.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €296k per year ( €7400 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €372k per year ( €4650 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €448k per year ( €3733 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €562k per year ( €3122 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €417k 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
- A spacious, professional-feeling very light jet, but range is modest and two-engine costs exceed single-engine alternatives.
- €220k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 975 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.
