Where it fits well
- 165 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 820 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 549 nm with 4 occupants.
- 355 kg realistic payload proxy and 6 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
A roomy and affordable entry to six-seat twin capability, but turbocharged engine reserves and ageing systems can overwhelm the purchase price.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €151k per year ( €3785 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €171k per year ( €2143 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €191k per year ( €1595 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €221k per year ( €1230 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €101k 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 roomy and affordable entry to six-seat twin capability, but turbocharged engine reserves and ageing systems can overwhelm the purchase price.
- €50k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 600 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.
- 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.
