Avionics

The M350 features the Garmin G1000 Avionics Suite, which includes dual 10.4-inch Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) and a single 12.4-inch Multi-Function Display (MFD). The suite integrates various systems such as NAV/COM/GPS, autopilot, and terrain awareness, enhancing situational awareness and flight management.

Performance Specifications

The M350 has a maximum approved altitude of 25,000 feet and a maximum cruise speed of 213 knots true airspeed (ktas). The takeoff distance over a 50-foot obstacle is 2,090 feet, while the landing distance is 1,968 feet over the same obstacle.

Engine and Propeller

The aircraft is powered by a turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A engine, producing 350 horsepower. It features a Hartzell 3-blade composite constant speed propeller with an 80-inch diameter.

Cabin Pressurization

The M350 has a maximum cabin differential pressure of 5.6 psi, allowing for comfortable flight at high altitudes. The cabin is designed to accommodate six passengers with luxury features.

Safety Features

Key safety features include Electronic Stability Protection (ESP), Underspeed Protection (USP), and a Hypoxia Recognition System with Automatic Descent Mode, which helps maintain safe flight conditions.

Safety notes

Electronic Stability Protection (ESP) prevents stalls and loss-of-control conditions.
Hypoxia Recognition System engages Automatic Descent Mode if pilot incapacitation is detected.

M350 TRADITION COMES STANDARD Traditions are meant to be celebrated and handed down to future generations. At Piper, we believe in building on tradition, manufacturing a reliable, quality product that encourages a love for aviation that can be shared and passed down. The M350 continues the Piper heritage of exceptional quality and superior value. The only pressurized piston aircraft built today, the M350 prepares you to step up through the M-Class family into the legacy and high performance of a turboprop. To learn more about additional safety features available on the M350, visit piper.com. No pilot help Light righting force Stronger righting force Electronic Stability Protection (ESP) Preventing the onset of stalls, spins, steep spirals, and loss-of-control conditions, this passive feature discourages aircraft operation outside the desired flight envelope. ESP functions independently of the autopilot system. Synthetic Vision Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology takes situational awareness to a new level, regardless of what can or cannot be seen through the windshield. Acquiring information from multiple certified databases, SVT graphically depicts obstacles, terrain, water, and airports, providing the pilot with all of the information required for safer travel. AFCS Coupled Go Around Coupled go arounds are possible without disengaging the autopilot. If power is not added, the USP system will maintain a speed just above stall warning, adjusting airplane pitch attitude as required. S A F E T Y GTX 33 ES + GTS 825 = ADS-B “In” and “Out” The standard GTX 33 ES provides ADS-B “Out” functionality. ADS-B “In” can be achieved by adding the optional GTS 825 Traffic Advisory System. The GTS 825 (ADS-B “In”) traffic system provides a comprehensive traffic picture. It can track up to 75 targets within a 40 nm interrogation range. Additionally, spoken ATC-like aural alerts help manage a safe flight. GTX 33 ES = ADS-B “Out” | GTX 33 ES + GTX 825 = ADS-B “In” Underspeed Protection (USP) Underspeed protection is an intuitive flight director function that allows the autopilot to remain engaged, but prevents the airplane from stalling. The M350 begins with everything fundamental you love about flying and combines it with the most modern technology. With the ability to anticipate and report back weather, traffic, and flight plans, the Garmin G1000 avionics suite is both intuitive and intelligent, managing your safe flight. TRADITIONAL QUALITY, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY Pulse Oximeter The M350 features a panel-mounted pulse oximeter. The pilot’s heart rate and blood oxygen saturation can easily be measured and displayed on the MFD, along with continuous monitoring of carbon monoxide levels in the cabin. Hypoxia Recognition System With Automatic Descent Mode The Hypoxia Recognition System detects pilot incapacitation as a result of hypoxia by monitoring pilot interaction with the PFD, MFD, and Autopilot Controller at cabin altitudes above 14,900 feet with the autopilot engaged. If no interaction is detected within a specified time period, this system will engage Automatic Descent Mode and bring the aircraft to a lower altitude in an effort to allow recovery from hypoxia. The M350 can safely fly itself without assistance to lower altitudes in the unlikely case the pilot becomes unresponsive. Automatic Level Mode (Blue Button) Level Mode is a function that will return the aircraft to a wings level attitude with zero vertical speed. Level Mode will automatically engage the flight director and autopilot functions to return the aircraft to straight and level flight. Dune Wellington Glacier Inverness STANDARD SELECTION UPGRADE OPTIONS The pressurized cabin is spacious and elegant, with an interior that is handcrafted and comfortably seats six. Luxurious leather, ambient LED lighting, USB charging ports, and an in-wall conference table create a favorable travel experience for business or pleasure.
