Piper PA46-500TP Malibu Meridian.

Six reasons not to miss this aircraft:

1. Near-new engine. A factory-new PT6A-42A was installed in 2022 and has only 880 hours against a 3,600-hour TBO, leaving 2,720 hours of engine life. The most expensive turbine maintenance event the overhaul is still years away, minimizing the risk of major maintenance costs.

2. Controlled operating costs. Approximately 39 US gal/h at a 265 KTAS cruise, one engine to maintain and single-pilot operation: the benefits of turbine power and pressurization without the operating budget of a light jet.

3. Modern avionics. Dual G500 TXi PFDs, dual GTN 750 units and a GFC 700 autopilot: the upgrades are already in place.

4. Genuine all-weather capability. A pressurized cabin up to FL280, FIKI certification, radar, Stormscope and EGPWS make this a dependable year-round travel aircraft.

5. Ready to fly. Annual inspection completed on September 4, 2026, a new battery and a propeller overhauled in 2024: no downtime anticipated at purchase.

6. Full repaint completed in 2015. The only repair to report is a minor repair to the rear attachment point, carried out by Troyes Aviation in strict accordance with FAA AC 43.13-1. No surprises.
