Piper Malibu Meridian PA-46

Piper Meridian Overview

Piper has fine-tuned its flagship product over the past decade, and while it is still the same aircraft at heart, all the little changes have made a difference — in a very good way. Despite Piper Meridian's short tenure on the market of single-engine, pressurized turboprops, the Meridian has managed to become one of the most popular airframes among owner-flown turbine aircraft.

The Piper Meridian is a prime example of when performance meets efficiency. The Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A turboprop engine, a distinguished member of the PT6A family that has been the engine series of choice in more than 100 different aircraft models all over the globe, allows for notable speed and agility, with 500 horses pulling passengers to altitude with ease. Holding the title of both the lowest fuel burn and lowest acquisition cost in its class, the Meridian also displays an unmatched value. On top of the immediate savings, it is a lot cheaper to take care of one engine than two.

A cockpit is equipped with a 15-inch MFD and two PFDs shout Garmin G1000. The GFC 700 autopilot is the most capable of any ever installed.

The Meridian also offers different additional standard and optional equipment (e.g. Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI)).

Piper Malibu Meridian Configurations

Piper Meridian offers a six-place interior. Passengers have easy access to the interior baggage compartment and amenities such as the two 110-volt outlets. 4 leather seats can be folded to allow easy access to the baggage compartment and make cockpit access a breeze.

The Meridian interior is available in four distinct color palettes.

Also, there is a folding workstation. Provides workspace when you need it, and stows easily when you don’t. Situated around the cabin, you can also find the standard individual cup holders, reading lights, air vents, and a built-in work table. LED accent strip lighting fills the cabin with warm light.

All of these attributes work collectively to make any business or personal flight as comfortable as possible for pilots and passengers alike.
