Overview
The Piper M500 represents the pinnacle of single-engine turboprop performance, combining a pressurized cabin with the proven reliability of the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A engine. Designed for mission-critical travel, the M500 delivers jet-like speed and altitude capability at a fraction of the operating cost—making it the ultimate tool for business aviation professionals.
Performance
Powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A turboprop engine producing 500 shaft horsepower, the M500 achieves a blistering top speed of 260 KTAS and climbs to a service ceiling of 30,000 feet—well above most weather and traffic. With a rate of climb of 1,900 feet per minute and a range of 1,000 nautical miles, the M500 connects markets efficiently with minimal fuel burn and maximum productivity for every flight hour.
Avionics
The M500 is equipped with the Garmin G1000 NXi integrated flight deck featuring synthetic vision technology, dual 10.4-inch high-resolution displays, and the GFC 700 digital autopilot with yaw damper. ADS-B In/Out, TCAS I traffic advisory, and Garmin TAWS-B terrain awareness are standard, delivering a connected, situationally-aware cockpit that reduces pilot workload in every phase of flight—from departure through precision approach.
Pressurization & Comfort
The M500's pressurized cabin maintains a comfortable 8,000-foot equivalent cabin altitude while cruising at 30,000 feet, allowing passengers to arrive refreshed and alert. Five-seat club-style seating with premium leather upholstery, individual climate vents, USB charging ports, and a whisper-quiet turboprop cabin define a first-class experience. Generous 40-cubic-foot baggage capacity means you carry everything your mission demands.
Safety Features
Safety is embedded at every level of the M500's design. The Garmin ESP electronic stability and protection system actively monitors flight parameters and assists the pilot in maintaining safe flight envelope margins. Coupled with TAWS-B terrain awareness, ADS-B traffic awareness, and the GFC 700 autopilot's underspeed protection, the M500 delivers multi-layered safety architecture that ensures confidence in IFR conditions, mountainous terrain, and high-altitude operations.
