S A F E T Y, LU X U R Y A N D S U P P O R T WHEN PIPER INTRODUCED THE M600, WE EXCEEDED INDUSTRY EXPECTATIONS FOR PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONAL EASE IN A SINGLE-ENGINE PRESSURIZED TURBOPROP. A CLEAN-SHEET DESIGNED WING AND THE ADDITION OF GARMIN’S G3000® AVIONICS SUITE WERE KEY FOUNDATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR PRODUCT GROWTH. NOW WE ARE USING THAT PLATFORM TO RAISE THE BAR IN SAFETY, LUXURY AND SUPPORT. INTRODUCING THE M600/SLS, SETTING NEW STANDARDS FOR AIRCRAFT IN EVERY CATEGORY, AND MEETING THE HIGHEST STANDARD IN GENERAL AVIATION — YOURS. TerminalTraffic™ Syncs with SafeTaxi maps to display all ADS-B- equipped aircraft and ground vehicles for increased situational awareness. SurfaceWatch Clear visual cues direct you to the correct runway on takeoff, approach and landing. Flight Stream 510 A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled gateway that streamlines your workload by connecting preflight planning from your mobile device to the G3000 avionics suite. Auto Throttle Automatically adjusts the aircraft’s power settings based on the preset flight profile – from climb-out to the landing approach HALOTM GENERAL AVIATION IS FOREVER CHANGED— PIPER FIRST TO MARKET WITH AUTOLAND The new M600/SLS features the most advanced avionics available for any general aviation aircraft: the Garmin G3000® avionics suite. However, the avionics in the M600/SLS are unlike what you’ll find in most other aircraft because they include the HALOTM Safety System. HALO is loaded with safety features for both the air and the airfield. Most importantly, HALO includes the revolutionary Garmin® Autoland as standard equipment—because your safety isn’t optional. Garmin Autoland This fully autonomous landing system can be activated manually or automatically when the system senses pilot incapacitation. Autoland’s algorithms consider runway length, time, wind, fuel, weather and glide path to determine the best airport for landing. The system notifies ATC, while passengers are updated on aircraft position and landing time. Key functions including FIKI/de-ice activation, flap extension and gear extension are also automated. Once the aircraft touches the runway, the braking system will activate and bring the aircraft to a complete stop, the engine will shut down and passengers are instructed how to safely exit the aircraft. Automatic Level Mode (Blue Button) Returns the aircraft to a wings-level attitude with zero vertical speed at the push of a button. Hypoxia Recognition with Automatic Descent Mode Monitors pilot activity when the autopilot is engaged above 14,100 ft. If needed, it brings the aircraft to a lower altitude to allow recovery from hypoxia. If the pilot does not immediately recover, Autoland will activate and land the aircraft. Electronic Stability & Protection (ESP) Prevents the onset of stalls, spins, steep spirals and loss of control. ESP creates a soft barrier to flying outside the performance envelope. Synthetic Vision Ultimate situational awareness even in limited visibility. SafeTaxi® A highly detailed, geo-referenced airport map displays your aircraft’s position on the airfield with an overlaid map of hold-short lines. S A F E T Y / L U X U R Y / S U P P O R T Garmin Autoland automatically controls: Gear Extension GRA 55 Radar Altimeter Auto Throttle Flaps FIKI Braking Fuel Shutoff HALO Safety System Features: Garmin G3000 Avionics Suite with HALO Safety System As installed in the M600/SLS, the G3000 suite is the most advanced avionics suite available for single-engine turboprop aircraft. Features like 60/40 split mode and enhanced map display bring invaluable situational information right in front of you. On approach, you no longer need to sacrifice your scan from the instruments to look down at the approach plate. The high-resolution, dual-touchscreen controllers of the GTC 575 enable you to control your remote audio/intercom system, as well as a host of other information: transponder codes and idents; electronic checklist entries; flight plan entry and editing; plus, optional synoptic data and other selected mapping, traffic and weather. With a sublime and beautifully appointed interior, Piper takes luxury to even greater heights with the EXP Package—now standard in the M600/SLS. Select from sophisticated interior color palettes with custom materials, stitching patterns and contrasting thread. Veneer and trim finishes further enhance the sense of unmatched refinement. Other new interior features include: Dual-Tone Seats All seats are clad in solid or two-toned, hand-selected and processed leather. Custom embroidery and stitching patterns make each aircraft unique. Alcantara® As sturdy as it is plush, this suede-like material can handle years of long flight hours. Badging The interior and exterior of your aircraft will feature personalized M600/SLS badging.
