Flying the Piper M600 Turboprop Aircraft – AINtv

AIN’s Matt Thurber flies Piper’s new M600 single-engine turboprop, which is an evolution of the M500, offering significantly-improved performance. Priced at $2.853 million and with a range of 1,484 nautical miles, Piper has carved out a potentially fruitful niche for itself--filling a gap between piston-powered models and more expensive turboprop singles like Daher’s TBM930.

Not a pilot - but that new Garmin instrumentation looks amazing - My dad was a WWII Navy pilot & learned to fly in the Stearman Biplane where the only instrumentation was the runway windsock, he would love flying the Piper M600.

I do love the single turbos in this class, even the M-500!

Can accommodate six passengers and crew, with a max payload of 645 lbs?

Love modern aircraft, but jeez, the old school instrument panels look a lot more interesting

Me: I want this...

My money: Don’t even think about it

I love the Pipers. The best single engine airplanes made!

This is not in the same league as a PC12 but a direct rival to the TBM 850/900.  And I can tell from flying both aircraft that the TBM is far superior in every single way. This Aircraft sits in the shadow of the TBM and will continue to do so until Piper seriously up their game.

Wife-you spent $2.8 and no toilet? I'll take Netjets and you can take your toy; Insurer-you spent $2.8 and have a single engine? Try Nigeria Insurance; Kids-you spent $2.8 and has a propeller? I'll go with mom on Netjets.

Well, it seems pretty clear that Piper is jumping on the 'Daher TBM' bandwagon with a cheaper, lesser quality and MUCH slower knockoff with less payload and range than the TBM 930. If you're going to try to copy your competition, you should at least make an effort to bring something improved to the table instead of 'inferior but at a cheaper price'. Comparing an M600 to a TBM 930 is like comparing a Chevrolet Spark to a Porsche 911. Yes, they both do the same thing but in a VERY different way and yes, you get what you pay for, as with most things in life.
