Piper Matrix Aircraft in Florida
Florida is a major used-aircraft transaction state with high concentration of flight schools, dealers and aviation events (Sun 'n Fun, Naples, Vero Beach, Lakeland). The flat terrain and dense GA airport network make Florida ideal for cross-country training and recreational flying year-round.
The Piper Matrix (PA-46R-350T) is the unpressurised member of the PA-46 family — essentially a Mirage airframe and 350 hp Lycoming without the pressurisation system, giving owners the spacious six-seat cabin-class cabin and roughly 213-knot cruise at a lower purchase price and simpler maintenance. It targets owner-pilots who fly mostly in the mid-altitudes and don't need to pressurise the cabin.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malibu | 1984–2000 | 6 | 213 kts (394 km/h) | 1,300 nm (2,408 km) | 1,200 lbs (544 kg) | $299K – $659K | Choose the Malibu, Mirage or M350 for pressurised piston economy; the Matrix if you don't need pressurisation; the Meridian/M500 for turbine simplicity; and the M600 or M700 Fury for the newest, fastest, longest-range cabin singles with Garmin G3000. See the live range and median above. | 18 |
| Meridian | 2000–2026 | 6 | 241 kts (446 km/h) | 1,000 nm (1,852 km) | 1,362 lbs (618 kg) | $725K – $2.4M | Buy a Meridian/M500 for an affordable, owner-flyable PT6A turboprop with pressurised cabin comfort. Step up to the M600 or M700 Fury for the bigger wing, longer range, higher speed and Garmin G3000; consider a JetProp conversion as a lower-cost route into PA-46 turbine power. | 39 |
| M350 | 2015–now | 6 | 200 kts (370 km/h) | 1,343 nm (2,487 km) | 1,220 lbs (553 kg) | $575K – $2.1M | Buy an M350 for the newest pressurised piston PA-46 with current Garmin glass; choose an earlier Mirage to get most of the same capability for less. Step up to the Meridian/M500 turboprop if you want turbine simplicity and higher cruise speed. | 18 |
| M600 | 2016–now | 6 | 274 kts (507 km/h) | 1,484 nm (2,748 km) | 2,400 lbs (1,089 kg) | $2.8M – $3.2M | Buy an M600 for a modern, long-range PT6A single with G3000 glass and, on SLS examples, Garmin emergency Autoland. Step down to the Meridian/M500 for a lower-cost turboprop, or up to the M700 Fury for the newest, most powerful PA-46. | 7 |
| M700 | 2023–now | 6 | 301 kts (557 km/h) | 1,437 nm (2,661 km) | 1,772 lbs (804 kg) | — | Buy an M700 Fury for the most power, speed and the newest avionics in the PA-46 family. Choose the M600 to save money while keeping the same wing and G3000, or the Meridian/M500 for the most affordable PA-46 turboprop. | 1 |
| Malibu JetProp | — | 6 | 260 kts (482 km/h) | 1,000 nm (1,852 km) | 1,200 lbs (544 kg) | — | Buy a JetProp if you want PA-46 turboprop performance for less than a factory Meridian/M500, on a well-known PT6A engine. Consider a factory Meridian for original turbine certification and integrated avionics, or stay piston with a Mirage/M350 if turbine operating costs aren't justified. | 3 |
| Mirage | — | 6 | 213 kts (394 km/h) | 1,345 nm (2,491 km) | 1,230 lbs (558 kg) | $257K – $1M | Buy a Mirage for pressurised piston travel with the more durable Lycoming engine, at a lower price than the newer M350. Consider the unpressurised Matrix to cut cost and complexity, or step up to the Meridian/M500 turboprop for turbine simplicity and speed. | 33 |
