become disoriented, a simple push of the blue button will enable the autopilot to return the aircraft to stable, level flight.
To simplify management of the pressurization, the system is integrated with the flight deck. Once the destination airport is entered, the system automatically pressurizes and depressurizes throughout the entire f light without any intervention by the pilot.
M500 Interior Upgrades
While previous PA46 models all shared the same interiors regardless of price point, the M500 comes with what Piper calls an Executive Interior, which includes higher grade leathers, USB charging ports in the cockpit and cabin, and four contrasting interior color palettes, which echo trends from the high- end automobile industry. The aircraft comes with standard paint scheme, but customers can do customized schemes to reflect their tastes and personality.
Piper’s experience with the Meridian, and now the M500, is that it appeals to step-up pilots with young, growing families, thanks to its large cabin and jet-like air-stair door that makes entering and exiting the aircraft easier.
“We also see pilots with aging parents who find it difficult to climb onto the wing and into the cabin of a small piston plane. The M500 offers a whole new level of comfort,” Carlon added.
All M-Class aircraft come with an initial training slot at Legacy Flight Training located at Piper’s Vero Beach, Florida headquarters. Simcom is an approved training provider for the M500. Warranty on a new M500 is three years for the airframe and avionics; the powerplant is covered for seven years and Hartzell prop comes with a five-year warranty•.
For 2018 models, the M500 is base- priced at $2.040 million with the typically equipped aircraft coming in at $2.2 million. T&T
