Piper M600 Model Guide
Piper M600 · Model Guide
Overview
The Piper M600 is a pressurized, single-engine turboprop introduced in 2016. It pairs the Meridian fuselage with a new wing and a 600 shp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A. It seats 4 to 6, holds 260 US gal of usable fuel and has Garmin G3000 avionics. The 2017 standard list price was $2,899,000.
- Max cruise is 274 ktas. NBAA range runs from 1,085 nm at that speed to 1,484 nm at 184 ktas, on 260 US gal usable fuel.
- Standard useful load is 2,400 lbs at a 6,000 lb max takeoff weight. Takeoff and landing over a 50 ft obstacle are 2,635 ft and 2,659 ft.
- Check the wing splice assembly: AD 2022-11-10 cut its life limit from 5,132 to 3,767 hours on affected PA-46-600TP serial numbers.
- To hold the price, Piper skipped RVSM certification and aileron trim, and left detailed performance tables out of the POH.

How far can the Piper M600 fly?
The Piper M600 has NBAA ranges of 1,085 nm at 274 ktas, 1,242 nm at 257 ktas and 1,484 nm at 184 ktas. A magazine test showed more than 1,480 nm at long-range cruise with 100 nm IFR reserves.
How does the Piper M600 differ from the Meridian/M500?
The Piper M600 uses the Meridian fuselage with a new wing that holds more fuel. It has a 600 shp PT6A-42A, a 250 kt Vmo and Garmin G3000 avionics. A magazine test found the M500 flew the same payload about 820 nm.
What did the Piper M600 cost new?
The 2017 Piper M600 standard equipped list price was $2,899,000 fly-away from Vero Beach. A 2016 magazine report gave a base price of $2.853 million. Options such as TAWS-B and TCAS I were extra.
Is the Piper M600 certified for RVSM?
A 2016 magazine report says Piper skipped RVSM certification on the Piper M600, limiting U.S. operations to 28,000 ft. The POH spec sheet lists 30,000 ft maximum approved altitude and 28,000 ft for RVSM airspace. Confirm what applies to the specific aircraft.

Powerplant and airframe
The PT6A-42A is flat rated at 600 shp, with a 3,600 hour TBO and a hot section inspection at 1,800 hours. The prop is a Hartzell 4-blade, constant speed, reversible unit, 82.5 in in diameter. The wing is new and holds more fuel than the Meridian's. Maximum cabin differential is 5.6 psi.
Avionics and cabin
The panel has a Garmin G3000 with dual 12 in PFDs, one 12 in MFD and a GFC 700 autopilot. Safety features include Automatic Level Mode, Electronic Stability Protection, Underspeed Protection and Hypoxia Recognition with Emergency Descent Mode. The cabin has a four-chair club section, six USB ports and PiperAire air conditioning. Flight Into Known Icing was listed as pending certification on the 2017 sheet, so verify it on any aircraft you consider.
What to verify when buying
Confirm the wing splice AD is complied with and the logbooks show it. Ask whether the original 24V, 38Ah main battery was replaced under the Concorde RG-41/53 (53 Ah) STC. Check that tire pressures are kept to Piper's figures. Confirm which options are fitted, such as TAWS-B, TCAS I, Stormscope and the fire detection system.
Safety notes
- Service Letter 1285B: check tires cold before the first flight each day. Loaded pressures are 88-92 psi nose and 95-99 psi main. A visual check is not enough.
- AD 2022-11-10: a wing splice assembly failing early could cause loss of airplane control. Life limit is now 3,767 hours TIS on affected serial numbers.
- The M600 keeps chemical emergency oxygen generators for passengers and has no lavatory, so a long-range cruise of more than 8 hours is hard on passengers.
