The ownership trade-off

Spacious and economical for training, but spin history, wing condition and a small fleet require careful inspection.

Cost picture at different usage

  • 40 hours/year: about €54k per year ( €1360 per flight hour all-in)
  • 80 hours/year: about €58k per year ( €725 per flight hour all-in)
  • 120 hours/year: about €62k per year ( €513 per flight hour all-in)
  • 180 hours/year: about €67k per year ( €372 per flight hour all-in)

Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €22k 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.

Where it fits well

  • 100 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
  • 468 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 337 nm with 2 occupants.
  • 185 kg realistic payload proxy and 2 seats define the usable cabin mission.

Limitations to price honestly

  • Spacious and economical for training, but spin history, wing condition and a small fleet require careful inspection.
  • €9k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
  • Approximate 535 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.

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.
