PACKAGING OPTIONS M 3 5 0 Track Weather Talk and Text Enroute GSR 56 IRIDIUM TRANSCEIVER (OPTIONAL) The optional GSR 56 gives you access to on-demand global weather information and text/voice communications through the Iridium satellite network. The Iridium network provides seamless global coverage nearly anywhere you fly – even in locations not previously served by other satellite networks. Simply set up voice and data service (subscription required), and start enjoying added safety and convenience on every flight. With the GSR 56, the M350 owner can enjoy the safety-enhancing benefits of on-demand satellite weather when operating internationally. World Wide Weather data includes Meteorological Aviation Reports that provide current temperature, dew point, precipitation, wind speed, and more, as well as Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) that show predicted weather for up to 30 hours in advance. Throughout most of Europe, Canada, and the U.S., the GSR 56 receives high-resolution radar imagery in full color on the G1000 displays. The availability of service is continuously expanding. Now Piper customers can stay in touch from virtually all corners of the globe. The GSR 56 can be used to provide two-way text messaging via SMS to any compatible phone or email address. In addition, place and receive calls effortlessly while in flight. The GSR 56 integrates into the aircraft’s audio/intercom system,

enabling pilot and passengers to speak and listen directly through a headset. Phone and text capability currently costs $40 per month, $1 per text, or $1.60 per minute for a phone call.* Calls can be placed from the cabin or cockpit, allowing Piper owners to manage business and personal matters from anywhere at any time. PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAYS (PFD) Two high-resolution primary flight displays put the flight instruments in direct line of sight from both left and right seats without a distracting parallax view. MULTI-FUNCTION FLIGHT DISPLAY (MFD) In the center of the panel, engine data, charts, traffic, weather, flight plans, menus, and more are displayed on the large format, high-resolution, 12.4” display. Garmin’s intuitive, user-friendly interface makes the MFD simple to navigate. GARMIN GFC 700 The fully integrated flight control system provides exceptional flight automation with a dual AHRS-based system. The system offers top safety features and incomparable performance, seamlessly integrating a flight director, autopilot, automatic trim and yaw damper into the G1000 suite. WEATHER MONITORING (OPTIONAL) The M350 offers the optional on-board radar capabilities of the Garmin GWX 68 digital color radar. The GWX 68 registers and reports back the weather ahead with its 6.5 kilowatts of power. In addition, with a subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Weather, the optional GDL 69A provides datalink weather, with NEXRAD radar, winds aloft, METARs, TAFs, lightning, icing, and other information available in the U.S. 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. ENHANCED AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS) (OPTIONAL) Automatic Level Mode (Blue Button) Level Mode is a function that will return the aircraft to a wings level attitude with zero vertical speed at the push of a button. Level Mode will automatically engage the flight director and autopilot functions to return the aircraft to straight and level flight. Underspeed Protection (USP) Underspeed protection is an intuitive flight director function that prevents the airplane from stalling when the autopilot is engaged. If in a stall condition, the system will lower the nose of the aircraft until above stall speed, and then climb to regain preselected altitude. GTX 33 ES + GTS 825 = ADS-B “OUT” AND “IN” 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 provide a comprehensive traffic picture. It can track up to 75 targets within a 40 nm interrogation range. Additionally, audio ATC-like aural alerts help manage a safe flight. GTX 33 ES = ADS-B “Out” | GTX 33 ES + GTX 825 = ADS-B “In” 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 and after multiple prompts, this system will engage Automatic Descent Mode and bring the aircraft to a lower altitude in an effort to allow the pilot to recover from hypoxia. The M350 can safely fly itself without assistance to lower altitudes in the unlikely case the pilot becomes unresponsive. To learn more about additional safety features available on the M350, visit piper.com. * Price is subject to change. PULSE OXIMETER The M350 features a panel-mounted pulse oximeter. The pilot’s heart rate and blood oxygen saturation level can easily be measured and displayed on the MFD, along with continuous monitoring of carbon monoxide levels in the cabin. AV I O N I C S Coupled Go Around As part of the AFCS a Coupled Go Around is possible without disengaging the autopilot. This feature works by pressing the TOGA button while the AP is engaged. The autopilot will remain engaged and follow the pitch attitude commanded by the flight director display. The pilot is expected to add power, then once the aircraft has accelerated and started climbing, retract the gear and flaps.
