Where it fits well
- 115 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 702 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 505 nm with 2 occupants.
- 211 kg realistic payload proxy and 2 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
A proven certified trainer with friendly handling, but speed and payload are modest for its acquisition cost.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €15k per year ( €385 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €19k per year ( €235 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €22k per year ( €185 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €27k per year ( €152 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €21k 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 proven certified trainer with friendly handling, but speed and payload are modest for its acquisition cost.
- €12k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 350 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.
Recommended missions
- Solo or two-person flying where low complexity matters more than cabin capacity.
- Short and medium regional trips, accepting fuel stops when conditions require.
- Recreational, training or personal travel where operating efficiency is more important than airline-like speed.
