About the Piper Meridian
The Piper Meridian (PA-46-500TP), later branded the M500, is the turboprop entry point to the M-class — a pressurised, single-engine PT6A turbine built on the PA-46 airframe for owner-pilots who want jet-style cabin comfort and turbine simplicity. It cruises around 260 knots, and the M500 added Garmin G1000-based avionics with electronic stability protection, making it a popular step-up from a piston Malibu or Mirage.
Produced 2000–2015. Total produced: 600.
