Deliveries of the new Piper Aircraft M600 turboprop are underway. The aircraft provides a roomy cabin with newly styled premium-leather club seating for four, plus plenty of creature comforts for travellers – big windows, USB charging ports, cup holders, executive folding tables, and folding seats. Interior choices include vanilla or black leather for the seats, and a selection of elegant wood-grain and glossy finishes for the tables and woodwork. The M600 is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A turbine engine that produces speeds of up to 507 kph over distances of up to approximately 2,735km.
The cockpit utilizes Garmin’s G3000 touchscreen avionics suite, with a new pilot interface design that maximises ergonomic comfort and minimises pilot workload. The airplane’s new enhanced safety features include emergency descent mode, electronic stability protection, level mode, and underspeed and overspeed protection, providing an extra level of electronic oversight to prevent accidents.
If you want one, get your order in soon. The company has limited production to just 35 aircraft per year, and this year’s lot is already sold out.
