About the Piper Meridian

The Piper Meridian (PA-46-500TP, later renamed M500) is the entry-level turboprop in the PA-46 line — a pressurised, single-engine PT6A-42A turboprop seating six and cruising around 260 knots. It is one of the easiest-to-fly turboprops, with single-pilot certification, modern avionics (G1000 on later, Garmin G3000 on the M500) and Garmin Autoland on later M500s. For an owner stepping up from a piston Malibu/Mirage, the Meridian is the natural next move into turbine ownership.

Produced 2000–2026. Total produced: 600.
