Where it fits well
- 422 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1437 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 963 nm with 4 occupants.
- 583 kg realistic payload proxy and 7 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Fast and efficient with a distinctive cabin, but runway performance and full-seat payload remain limiting.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €292k per year ( €7300 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €364k per year ( €4550 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €436k per year ( €3633 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €544k per year ( €3022 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €409k 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
- Fast and efficient with a distinctive cabin, but runway performance and full-seat payload remain limiting.
- €220k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1128 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.
