Where it fits well
- 402 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1770 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1186 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1100 kg realistic payload proxy and 9 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Near-jet speed and a large cabin with turboprop efficiency, but specialist support, noise perception and resale liquidity are concerns.
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 €405k 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
- Near-jet speed and a large cabin with turboprop efficiency, but specialist support, noise perception and resale liquidity are concerns.
- €220k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 994 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.
