Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

2016 - Launch in 2016 with Garmin G3000 touchscreen
Piper Aircraft presented the M600 to the public at Sun 'n Fun 2016 and began deliveries in the second half. It was Piper's first turboprop with a Garmin G3000 cockpit (2 widescreen displays + touchscreen controllers), the same avionics as jets such as the Cessna Citation M2 and Embraer Phenom 100EV. The wing was redesigned with a new aerodynamic profile and a larger tank (1,740 lb vs 1,217 lb on the M500), raising range to 1,658 nm.

2016First deliveries
2020 - M600 SLS in 2020 with HALO Safety + Autoland
In 2020 Piper launched the M600 SLS (Safety, Legacy, Style) version with the integrated HALO Safety system: Garmin Autoland (an emergency button that lands the airplane automatically), Garmin Smart Glide (which assists a forced landing in case of engine failure), integrated autothrottle and Surface Watch. Along with the Cirrus Vision SF50 G2+ and Daher TBM 940/960, it is one of the few single-engine aircraft with certified Autoland.

Brazil Fleet

The Piper M600 is a 6-seat (pilot included) single-engine turboprop with a 1,658 nm range and a 274 kt cruise speed, built from 2016 to 2024. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count, summed across the variants of the Meridian PA-46-500TP family, is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status is in the model's Analytics.

According to the EASA type certificate data sheet (TCDS IM.A.077, issue of 18 Feb 2026), the PA-46-600TP (M600) was certified by the FAA on 16 Jun 2016 and by EASA on 19 May 2017, with one Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A engine and a 30,000 ft maximum operating altitude. On 18 May 2020, Piper announced that the M600/SLS was the first aircraft certified with Garmin Autoland, part of the HALO system, which lands the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport if the pilot is incapacitated. On 24 Jul 2023, Piper announced ANAC approval of the system in Brazil.

Out of production, the model is bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Range of 1,658 nm

With 1,658 nm of maximum range, the M600 trails the TBM 940/960 (1,730 nm) and the Pilatus PC-12. São Paulo-Brasília-Porto Velho or Miami-NYC-Boston in a single leg. In high-speed cruise mode (274 kt) range drops to ~1,300 nm, still well above the M500's 1,000 nm.

Garmin Autoland: automatic landing in an emergency

The Garmin Autoland on the M600 SLS lets any passenger press an emergency button that commands a complete automatic landing: the system selects the nearest suitable airport, communicates with ATC by radio, navigates there, flies an ILS approach and lands without human intervention.

Higher MTOW + new wing deliver 2,400 lb useful load

With an MTOW of 6,000 lb (vs 5,092 lb for the M500) and a redesigned wing, the M600 has a useful load of 2,400 lb, significantly higher than the M500's 1,698 lb. This allows full fuel + 4 adults + full baggage on 1,500 nm missions with no trade-offs, a capability the M500 cannot match. A real advantage for family use or business with 5-6 occupants.

Limitations

Cramped cabin from the PA-46 platform (1980s)

Despite the improvements, the M600 uses the same PA-46 fuselage as the Malibu (1984), a cabin 1.27m wide and 1.19m high, with no enclosed lavatory and a baggage compartment of only 20 ft³. Compared to the Pilatus PC-12 NGX (1.52m wide, lavatory, 40 ft³ baggage), the M600 is clearly more cramped on long missions with 5+ pax. It is more of a speed-pilot's airplane than a cabin-experience airplane.

Curiosities

MSRP US$ 4.3M, middle ground between the M500 and TBM 940

In 2025 the Piper M600 SLS has an MSRP starting at ~US$ 4.3 million, significantly more expensive than a used M500 (~US$ 2M) but cheaper than a new TBM 960 (~US$ 4.7M) or Pilatus PC-12 NGX (~US$ 5.4M). A middle-ground position in the category, attracting the pilot who wants Autoland + range > 1,500 nm + Garmin G3000 without reaching the premium of the TBM/PC-12.
