Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
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 - Lancamento em 2016 com Garmin G3000 touchscreen
A Piper Aircraft anunciou o M600 no Sun 'n Fun 2016 e iniciou entregas no segundo semestre. Foi o primeiro turboelice da Piper com cockpit Garmin G3000 (2 telas widescreen + controllers touchscreen), mesma aviônica de jatos como Cessna Citation M2 e Embraer Phenom 100EV. A asa foi redesenhada com novo perfil aerodinamico e tanque maior (1.740 lb vs 1.217 lb do M500), elevando o range para 1.658 nm.
- 2016FAA certification
- 2016First deliveries
- 2020 - M600 SLS em 2020 com HALO Safety + Autoland
Em 2020 a Piper lancou a versao M600 SLS (Safety, Legacy, Style) com o sistema HALO Safety integrado: Garmin Autoland (botao de emergencia que pousa o aviao automaticamente), Garmin Smart Glide (que assiste pouso forcado em caso de pane motor), autothrottle integrado e Surface Watch. Junto com Cirrus Vision SF50 G2+ e Daher TBM 940/960, e um dos poucos aeronaves single-engine com Autoland certificado.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Range de 1.658 nm, terceiro maior da categoria
Com 1.658 nm de range maximo, o M600 supera o TBM 940/960 (1.730 nm proximo mas com menos payload em full fuel) e fica atras apenas do Pilatus PC-12 NGX (1.803 nm). Sao Paulo-Brasilia-Porto Velho ou Miami-NYC-Boston em uma so etapa. Em modo high-speed cruise (274 kt) o range cai para ~1.300 nm, ainda muito superior aos 1.000 nm do M500.
Garmin Autoland: pouso automatico em emergencia
O Garmin Autoland do M600 SLS permite a qualquer passageiro acionar botao de emergencia que comanda pouso automatico completo: o sistema seleciona aeroporto adequado mais proximo, comunica com ATC via radio, navega ate la, executa aproximacao ILS e pousa sem intervencao humana. Em 2022, ja houve casos documentados de uso real bem-sucedido em M600, a tecnologia ja salvou vidas.
MTOW maior + asa nova entregam useful load 2.400 lb
Com MTOW de 6.000 lb (vs 5.092 lb do M500) e asa redesenhada, o M600 tem useful load de 2.400 lb, significativamente maior que os 1.567 lb do M500. Isso permite full fuel + 4 adultos + bagagem completa em missoes 1.500 nm sem trade-offs, capacidade que o M500 nao consegue. Vantagem real para uso familia ou business com 5-6 ocupantes.
Limitations
Cabine apertada da plataforma PA-46 (1980s)
Apesar das melhorias, o M600 usa a mesma fuselagem PA-46 do Malibu (1984), cabine de 1,27m largura e 1,19m altura, sem lavatorio enclosed e bagageiro de apenas 20 ft³. Comparado ao Pilatus PC-12 NGX (1,52m largura, lavatorio, 40 ft³ baggage), o M600 e claramente mais apertado em missoes longas com 5+ pax. E mais avioes de piloto-velocista que cabin-experience.
Curiosities
MSRP US$ 4,3M, meio termo entre M500 e TBM 940
Em 2025 o Piper M600 SLS tem MSRP a partir de ~US$ 4,3 milhoes, significativamente mais caro que M500 usado (~US$ 2M) mas mais barato que TBM 960 novo (~US$ 4,7M) ou Pilatus PC-12 NGX (~US$ 5,4M). Posicionamento de meio-termo na categoria, atraindo piloto que quer Autoland + range > 1.500 nm + Garmin G3000 sem chegar ao premium do TBM/PC-12.
