PREMIER PRESSURIZED PERFORMANCE MOVE UP — AND UP — AND UP. When it comes to stepping up from four- to six-seat cabins, the Piper M-Class is the top of the line. The M-Class line begins with the M350 — the only factory-new pressurized piston aircraft on the market, and then continues by moving up to PT6A-42A turboprop performance with the M500. The M-Class family is rounded out with the M600 SLS — the ideal corporate flight department stablemate. Give your family or team their first flight in pressurized M-Class comfort. With plenty of leg and shoulder room, fine finish, and digitally equipped for work or play — they’ll insist that you buy it. PIPER M-CLASS SETTING THE NEW STANDARD. Safety. Luxury. Support. The M600 SLS meets your highest standards for each without the need for upgrades. The M600 SLS features our new HALO Safety System and is the first-ever aircraft certified with one of the most significant advancements in general aviation history — Garmin® Autoland. If needed, this innovative technology can autonomously take control of the aircraft and land safely at the nearest airport. HALO’s other standard features include SafeTaxi,® SurfaceWatch, Synthetic Vision, Automatic Level Mode and Emergency Descent Mode. All designed to enhance operational safety and situational awareness. The EXP Package — now standard in the M600 SLS — allows you to personalize key design elements, such as contrasting thread colors, stitching patterns and embroidery or debossing. And for the ultimate peace of mind, the M600 SLS comes with our Ultimate Care Program, which covers all scheduled maintenance for five years or 1,500 hours.PIPER M600 SLS TURBOPROP Download the Piper App to experience our M600/SLS in flight Download the Piper Aircraft App to experience our M600/SLS in flight. PIPER M500 TURBOPROP EASY FLYING TO HIGHER VALUE. The M500 was designed with the focus on making turbine operations simple. For one thing, there’s no prop lever on the pedestal. With the engine spooled up, the prop turns at 2,000 rpm at all times, leaving the throttle to control power and a simple two-position on/off fuel condition control lever. The intuitive cockpit has advanced safety features and options to reduce pilot workload and bring peace of mind, greater confidence and lower stress, particularly in single-pilot operations. With a normal cruise fuel burn of just 35 gph, the M500 is the most fuel-efficient turboprop available today. And with nearly $1.5 million less in acquisition cost than the closest competitor, the M500 will get you there economically and efficiently. NOW LEAVING THE LIMITS. Your four-seater has served you well, but you need more. More space, flexibility and comfort. Time to make an easy, affordable—and significant—step up. The M350 is the roomiest single- engine piston on the market. It seats six in cabin-class comfort with a ceiling that compares to turboprops. Driven by a twin-turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540 engine, the capability is undeniable. Say there’s weather ahead, and it’s topping out at 18,000 ft. To deviate around it would add 200 nm to your trip, but with the M350, you just pitch up and add power. Climb up to 25,000 ft in the comfort only a pressurized cabin can provide. Better tailwind down below? Go for it knowing you are burning the same 19 gph you did at 25,000 ft. Sit back, relax and enjoy the only pressurized piston aircraft built today. PIPER M350 AN UPGRADED EXPERIENCE. NOW STANDARD. Customizable features provide a unique experience to tailor your aircraft to reflect your personal style. On the new M600 SLS, the EXP Package comes standard. During a face-to-face meeting with our design consultant, you’ll select your interior color palette from our available options, as well as identify stitch patterns, headliner bezel accent color, custom exterior paint colors and personal brand design.

The G1000 NXi provides even more capability with wireless connectivity via Bluetooth. Options include transfer of aviation databases from mobile devices to the G1000 NXi system, two-way flight plan transfer, and the sharing of traffic, weather, GPS and backup attitude information. ENHANCED AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (E-AFCS) Coupled Go-Around Part of the E-AFCS stall protection, allows go- arounds without disengaging the autopilot. Automatic Level Mode Returns the aircraft to straight-and-level flight at zero vertical speed. 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. Underspeed/Overspeed Protection (USP/OSP) An intuitive flight director allows the autopilot to remain engaged during underspeed, but prevents the airplane from stalling. With the autopilot engaged, the overspeed protection feature causes the aircraft to pitch up and slow down if the maximum speed limit is exceeded. Emergency Descent Mode/Hypoxia Awareness * Monitors pilot interaction when the autopilot is engaged at cabin altitudes above 14,100 ft. If needed, the system brings the aircraft to a lower altitude to allow recovery from hypoxia.
