These figures are typical for the model, not a specification for any individual aircraft. Real-world numbers vary with year, installed equipment, weight, modifications and engine condition — often by more than you would expect. Use them to compare types, and confirm anything you would act on against the Pilot's Operating Handbook for that specific airframe and a prebuy inspection.

Annual all-in

~$222k/yr

All-in at ~100 flying hours a year, using the midpoint of each range — the same figures broken out under “Cost to own” below. Your number will differ, and mostly for two reasons. Experience sets your insurance: a 2,000-hour pilot with recent training pays 30–40% less than a 200-hour owner, and student owners pay 20–40% more — on the same aircraft that is often a doubling. Location sets your hangar: a T-hangar runs $200–400 a month in the Midwest against $400–1,500 in a coastal metro, and an outside tie-down is less again. Engine reserves move too — a local shop reusing your serviceable cylinders can come in 30–50% under the national specialty-shop pricing we quote, though you trade the warranty and turnaround that comes with it. Reserves are money set aside toward a future overhaul, not a bill this year, and the annual inspection figure is the shop’s labor to look — whatever they find is separate.

Cost to own — estimate

Set your yearly hours and local fuel price. Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, annual inspection) don't change with hours; fuel, maintenance and the engine program do.

Fuel, engine reserve and wear only. Insurance, hangar and the annual are already paid whether you make the trip or not, so they are not charged here.

Estimate, not a quote. Where a line shows a range, the total, per-hour and per-mile figures use its midpoint— insurance moves most with your experience and time in type, hangar with where you base the aircraft, so your own number could sit at either end. Annual inspection is the shop's labor to open and inspect — what they find is the maintenance line, which covers oil changes, plugs, tires, brakes, hoses, lights, a battery and vacuum pump amortised over their life, and the unscheduled squawks that are the largest and least predictable part of it. The engine line is an hourly maintenance program (JSSI, P&W ESP, Williams TAP or similar), not a reserve you control — it is a contract paid per flight hour, and enrolment transfers with the aircraft, so confirm it at prebuy.

Title & Escrow partnerExample placement

Strengths

  • Efficient twin-jet performance at 393 KTAS cruise
  • 6-seat configuration with reasonable acquisition cost (~$2.26M)
  • Proven Pratt & Whitney Canada engines

Weaknesses

  • Fuel burn data sourced at different altitudes/power settings—no single integrated performance envelope
  • 100EV variant burns significantly more fuel (169 gph vs. 145 gph base model)
  • Limited range spec sourced from 2012 factory data; real-world range sensitivity to weight and conditions not detailed

Performance

cruise_speed_ktas and fuel_burn_gph are a genuine matched pair from a single flight test (Plane & Pilot, at FL290: 393 KTAS burning 966 lb/hr, or 145 gph). range_nm is sourced separately, from AOPA's 2012 "Four Years On" factory-style spec table, at a different altitude and power setting (33,000 ft, "max cruise setting": 390 kt/1,178 nm). The two cruise speeds are close (393 vs 390, 0.8% apart) but are not the same reading, and no source found this session gives cruise, burn and range together at one condition — the same gap found on the Cheyenne 400LS and Citation M2 pages researched alongside this one. A third data point, from a 2017 pilot report on the 100EV specifically, observed 566 lb/hr per side (1,132 lb/hr combined, ~169 gph) — the 100EV's more powerful PW617F1-E burns meaningfully more than the base airplane this page describes.

Payload & Range

Useful load is 3,340 lb (against max takeoff weight, this catalog's convention), and full fuel is 2,806 lb (419 gal, corrected from a prior 407 gal that appears in no source checked this session) — so full fuel leaves 534 lb of payload. That is the number to plan against, not the seat count. An SB-modified or 100EV airframe, with its higher zero-fuel weight, carries meaningfully more.

The 6 seats include the right-hand cockpit seat, which manufacturers count as a passenger position. A single-pilot owner can genuinely fill it; a two-crew operator cannot.

All 6 seats filled, bags~1,300 lb~305 galWeight-limited, not tank-limited: fuel is capped to keep useful load (3,340 lb) from being exceeded

The full-fuel row is the one sourced figure; the six-seats row is arithmetic (useful load 3,340 lb minus 1,300 lb of people and bags leaves 2,040 lb of fuel, about 305 gal) rather than a published range, and no per-condition burn figure exists to convert it into a distance with the same confidence as the full-fuel row. Plan a real flight from the AFM, not this table.
