Figures that need confirmation

Where sources describe different operating conditions, the scenarios are shown and we do not select a single comparison figure.

Unqualified maximum payload Withheld from comparison

  • 1492 lb Headline figure; configuration unspecified.
  • 1446 lb Detailed loading panel, with Prestige cabin basic-empty-weight reference.

A single maximum payload has not been established for this comparison. Confirm the aircraft configuration and applicable figure with Daher or the individual aircraft's records.

Ownership support

Support programs are conditional. For a used aircraft, actual enrollment, remaining benefit and transferability are unknown until the written contracts and current records are reviewed.

  • Daher describes factory-approved initial training for new-aircraft purchasers; actual booking and eligibility must be confirmed.
  • Daher's published Total Care offer describes scheduled maintenance for the initial retail owner for five years or 1,000 hours, excluding consumables. It does not establish coverage, transferability or remaining benefit for a used-aircraft buyer.

Questions before you buy.

These are original preparation questions, not reported defects or a suitability result.

  • What do actual occupants and baggage leave for fuel under this airplane's weight/balance?
  • Which maintenance benefits remain and can transfer under a written contract?
  • What training, insurance and authorized-service access apply?
  • Which range case matches the planned payload/speed/reserve assumptions?
