Where it fits well
- 90 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 378 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 272 nm with 2 occupants.
- 193 kg realistic payload proxy and 2 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Modern, safe and refined for training, but two seats and a specialist support network limit broader utility.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €36k per year ( €910 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €48k per year ( €598 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €59k per year ( €493 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €76k per year ( €424 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €60k 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
- Modern, safe and refined for training, but two seats and a specialist support network limit broader utility.
- €25k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Component life and mission-specific landing permissions dominate real-world utility.
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.
