Piper Mirage Aircraft in Nevada

← Piper Malibu family

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.

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

Buying a Used Piper Mirage

Buying a Piper Mirage comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Mirage's defining cost driver is the pressurized turbocharged piston package: engine management, turbo/exhaust condition, pressurization leaks, and cylinder history decide whether the aircraft is a bargain or a catch-up project. Buyers should not compare it with unpressurized singles by purchase price alone.

Frequently Asked Questions — Piper Mirage

What is the difference between a Piper Mirage and a Malibu?
Both are pressurised PA-46 piston singles, but the original Malibu used a Continental engine while the Mirage (PA-46-350P) uses a 350 hp Lycoming TIO-540 that is generally considered more reliable. The Mirage also brought systems refinements, which is why many buyers prefer it over the earliest Malibus.
Is the Mirage the same as the M350?
The M350 is essentially the modern, in-production successor to the Mirage — same pressurised PA-46-350P airframe and Lycoming engine, with updated systems and Garmin avionics. A used Mirage offers much of the same capability for less money than a late M350.
How fast is a Piper Mirage and how far can it fly?
The Mirage cruises around 213 knots in the flight levels thanks to its turbocharged Lycoming and pressurisation, with a range comfortably suited to long single-pilot cross-country trips. Exact figures vary by weight, altitude and equipment.
