Where it fits well
- 86 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 195 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 140 nm with 3 occupants.
- 343 kg realistic payload proxy and 3 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
Stable, forgiving and useful for training or light work, but slower cruise and component tracking make ownership more involved than the cabin suggests.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €47k per year ( €1165 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €61k per year ( €765 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €76k per year ( €632 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €98k per year ( €543 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €74k 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
- Stable, forgiving and useful for training or light work, but slower cruise and component tracking make ownership more involved than the cabin suggests.
- €32k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Component life and mission-specific landing permissions dominate real-world utility.
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.
