Description
This 2006 Piper Meridian presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-equipped, meticulously maintained turboprop that combines proven performance with enduring capability. Backed by complete logbooks and a total time of 3,144.2 hours, the aircraft is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A engine and accompanied by a Hartzell HC-E4N-3Q four-blade propeller, delivering the smooth performance and reliability expected of the Meridian platform. The flight deck is centered around the Avidyne EXP5000 integrated avionics system, complemented by a Garmin GNS 430W GPS with WAAS capability to provide a capable and intuitive operating environment. Certified for IFR operations and Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI), this Meridian is equipped to meet the demands of a wide range of missions while delivering the versatility and confidence owners have come to expect from Piper's flagship single-engine turboprop.
Recommended avionics upgrades
A GNS 430 upgrades naturally to the GTN 650Xi — same footprint, touchscreen GPS/nav/comm with LPV approaches.
