Where it fits well
- 128 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 522 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 376 nm with 3 occupants.
- 293 kg realistic payload proxy and 3 seats define the usable cabin mission.
Key figures
Indicative planning data, compiled 2026-07. Verify against the AFM and records.
| Seats | 3 |
| Realistic payload with mission fuel | 293 kg |
| Advertised range | 522 nm |
| Practical planning radius (4 people) | 350 nm |
| Cruise speed | 128 kt |
| Runway need | ~490 m |
| Pressurised | No |
| Fuel | Avgas 100LL |
| Fixed annual base | €17k |
| Direct cost per flight hour | €160 |
The ownership trade-off
A focused modern trainer with strong fleet logic, but the third seat is limited and private-travel versatility is modest.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €23k per year ( €585 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €30k per year ( €373 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €36k per year ( €302 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €46k per year ( €254 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €35k 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
- A focused modern trainer with strong fleet logic, but the third seat is limited and private-travel versatility is modest.
- €17k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 490 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.
