Where it fits well
- 285 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 1845 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 1236 nm with 4 occupants.
- 975 kg realistic payload proxy and 10 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Exceptional cabin, payload and runway versatility, but interior, engine programme and high annual fixed costs demand professional ownership.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €230k per year ( €5750 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €278k per year ( €3475 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €326k per year ( €2717 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €398k per year ( €2211 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €274k 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 cabin, payload and runway versatility, but interior, engine programme and high annual fixed costs demand professional ownership.
- €155k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 758 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.
