Piper Mirage Aircraft in Germany
German-registered aircraft (D- prefix) operate under EASA certification with rigorous maintenance documentation requirements. Strong GA infrastructure around Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin. Diamond Aircraft (Austrian) and German pilot population create active market for modern composite singles.
The Piper Mirage (PA-46-350P) is the Lycoming-powered evolution of the pressurised Malibu — a six-seat, cabin-class piston single offering airliner-style pressurisation, known-ice capability and roughly 213-knot cruise in a wide, comfortable cabin. Piper switched from the original Malibu's Continental engine to a 350 hp Lycoming TIO-540, which is widely regarded as more durable and made the Mirage the long-running piston flagship before the current M350.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Matrix | 2008–now | 6 | 195 kts (361 km/h) | 1,200 nm (2,222 km) | 1,343 lbs (609 kg) | $438K – $765K | Buy a Matrix if you want PA-46 cabin space and speed without paying for, or maintaining, a pressurisation system. Step up to the pressurised Mirage or M350 if you regularly fly in the high flight levels, or to the Meridian/M500 turboprop for turbine performance. | 10 |
| 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 |
