Where it fits well
- 300 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1450 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 971 nm with 4 occupants.
- 814 kg realistic payload proxy and 9 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Exceptional speed and payload for its purchase price, but mandatory training and specialist Garrett support are non-negotiable.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €439k per year ( €10975 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €497k per year ( €6213 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €555k per year ( €4625 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €642k per year ( €3567 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €309k 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
- Exceptional speed and payload for its purchase price, but mandatory training and specialist Garrett support are non-negotiable.
- €160k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 750 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.
