Flying The Piper M600 - Not So Hard To Do: A Demo Flight with Mike Murphy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- The single-engine Piper M600 is more of what you want in luxury, performance and value. Operators call it the best value in its class because it was designed for owners who want extra range and speed without the inflated cost. The new clean-sheet wing is at the heart of the changes to the Piper M600 providing slick aerodynamics that help you go farther, faster without leaving anything or anyone behind.

What a beautiful and capable aircraft.
I concur! Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
Good quick overview of the M600! Piper needs to team-up with someone flying the M600 on o regular basis and have the flights captured on video for UA-cam. For example SteveKinevo’s channel has done very well promoting the TBM turbo prop. Do not underestimate the power of UA-cam to keep your aircraft in the public’s’ mind. Thanks again!

Beautiful plane, this is on top of my wish list, my dream is to be an Aviator
Good choice! Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
Beautiful plane, thanks for posting!
You are welcome Buck. Fly Safely - Train Often
This guy is definately ex military. Hes the best presenter I have ever seen with a new aircraft.
That’s a stretch. Pretty arrogant to assume anyone who is capable must have come from the military. But, that’s the way of former military pilots, so I guess it makes sense.
He had the ring.
Military or not.. Mike is a true professional and great pilot. It was a pleasure to fly with him. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR

Thank you

Wow,wow,wow, love it😁😁👍👍
Thanks for watching. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
It's strange that your main competitor's are the smaller siblings, the 350 and 500. Seems like a good value alternative to the other more expensive competition.

Muito bacana este vide-o parabéns !
Thank you!
is it possible to put a lavatory in this plane for small bladders?
Ha! This is an excellent question. I suspect if you ask Piper they will tell you yes.. but you won’t like the price. Given the excellent capability of the PA46 aircraft “as is”and the economic efficiency it provides, I recommend some portable pee bags and a visit to your urologist just to be safe.

good job nice piper
Thanks.. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
Dollar for Dollar, maybe the best overall aircraft in existence.
I concur.. and it is getting better all the time! . Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
Great video! Any thoughts on minimum pilot experience for this beauty?
It’s all about proper training. If the training is not available or properly understood, more experience is necessary. It really is an easy aircraft to fly and training in such an aircraft is really fun. I recommend speaking with your Piper representative.. or give me a call. DR.. Fly Safely - Train Often
@@RWRPilotTraining Thanks so much for your perspective!
Going to be in the cirrus league for a while 🤣
No rush .. enjoy. It’s all good! Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR

Perfect airplane for me....lottery please come through 🙏

40 odd years ago I was flying a Beech King Air equiped with old fashioned round dials and needles. I popped my head inside a Saab 340 parked next to me to have a look at the new fangled glass cockpit. The pilot of the Saab told me in all seriousness that many pilots could not cope with the new technology. What an idiot he was. Having spent the last 30 years flying EFIS equipped jet transports, transitioning back to steam driven gauges is what would be difficult.
.. and the glass cockpit is proving to be far safer! Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
It’s ridiculous that my experimental bush plane has all of these over control, safety and auto level features at a much less expensive package via the Garmin G3X
We should all “thank our lucky stars” for Garmin and the Safety added by their products. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
Can you fly M600 use it to fly around World?
Most certainly.. and a very comfortable ride it would be!
Sign me up. I'm not a pilot but would love to sit in the right seat for the trip.
@@rgp112750 Great, because you always need a plane, a pilot and - now you come into play: Deep pockets to pay the bills.
.. and excellent training! Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
I wonder how many lives that autolevel pilot mode button could have saved over the years?
Too many to count I suspect. It is likely that modern avionics will continue to be second only to a well trained pilot in this regard. DR .. Fly Safely - Train Often
Does it have autoland?
The aircraft in this particular video did not. Auto-land is now standard on all production M600 aircraft. Serial number 200 and above (I believe) have auto-throttle as well. This will undoubtedly improve safety and owner satisfaction. It is an amazing aircraft and was heretofore unavailable to owner pilots at any price! Check out some of my videos that demonstrate these features.
Should cost less than half of PC-12...
Yes indeed.. and a very different mission as well. The Piper M600 is an excellent first turbine for any pilot because it is a very uncomplicated turbine aircraft and therefore easy to fly; No ground idle; no inertial separator; no hot lips; with very simple and robust fuel and electrical systems. It handles very much like its piston counterparts. It is reliable and relatively fast with great range and payload.. and did I say it’s easy to fly?
@@RWRPilotTraining I don’t think the payload is that great from what I’ve read. But for the price you’d have to double to the price for a bigger payload like the e1000 gx
It has 1200 NM range with a 658 lb payload at 270 kts in cruise. I believe this is the best value in single engine aircraft and I believe it is perfect for a variety of missions. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
I am not a pilot, but need to ask this stupid question. The nose or the hood being so long wouldn’t it impair pilot’s vision for safe flying?
Hi Lionheart.. Not really. The reason for the High prominent glare shield is to allow instruments to be clearly visible in front of the pilot. It is also important in newer aircraft to shield the glass panel from sunlight which can make the screen hard to see. Aircraft designed for instrument flight are all designed this way. I hope this helps. DR .. Fly Safely - Train Often
Lionheart Forever ，coz it’s a turbo engine, turbo engine usually needs that much long space.
I believe it’s more for balancing. The turbine engine is half the weight of a piton engine so to balance the aircraft properly you need to move the lighter engine farther forward.
@@andrewking9072 No, it does not since the engine isn't longer.
I think I misinterpreted the original
question. I see the answers above addressing the issue of weight and balance. This is correct. No aircraft designer wants even a slight possibility of an aft CG scenario. Placing the lighter turbine engine farther forward makes their design more stable in a variety of loading scenarios. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
what about engine failure ??
Harban mital Mital Glide!
The Pratt and Whitney Canada PT-6 engines rarely fail.
@@bob39434 They do if you cut the fuel line for instance.
@@rainerzufall689 that isn't a failure thats sabotage
@@fishhisy It isn't if the cut is made by a sharp metal piece it is rubbing against on due to poor fastening. And the connectors at the fire wall can come loose as well which effectively cuts the line in two pieces.
