Where it fits well
- 198 kt cruise supports credible cross-country touring.
- 1500 nm published range creates a practical planning radius of about 1005 nm with 4 occupants.
- 362 kg realistic payload proxy and 4 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Exceptional speed and efficiency in a sleek four-seat package, but support depth and retractable-gear complexity require careful ownership planning.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €34k per year ( €845 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €43k per year ( €533 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €51k per year ( €428 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €65k per year ( €359 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €48k per year at 80 hours. Condition, engine time remaining and avionics matter more than the year itself, so price the aircraft in front of you, not the model.
Limitations to price honestly
- Exceptional speed and efficiency in a sleek four-seat package, but support depth and retractable-gear complexity require careful ownership planning.
- €25k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 549 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.
- Recreational, training or personal travel where operating efficiency is more important than airline-like speed.
