Where it fits well
- 148 kt cruise supports efficient local and regional flying.
- 930 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 623 nm with 4 occupants.
- 335 kg realistic payload proxy and 4 seats define the usable cabin mission.

| Seats | 4 |
| Realistic payload with mission fuel | 335 kg |
| Advertised range | 930 nm |
| Practical planning radius (4 people) | 623 nm |
| Cruise speed | 148 kt |

| Fixed annual base | €38k |
| Direct cost per flight hour | €275 |
The ownership trade-off
Extremely efficient for a twin and ideal for training, but payload and single-engine climb are modest.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €49k per year ( €1225 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €60k per year ( €750 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €71k per year ( €592 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €88k per year ( €486 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €71k 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
- Extremely efficient for a twin and ideal for training, but payload and single-engine climb are modest.
- €38k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 417 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.
