Description
Professionally managed and flown Piper Meridian with only 2,876 total hours. Powered by the reliable Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42 with a 3,600-hour TBO. Annual inspection due February 2027. Hartzell 4-blade, full-feathering, constant-speed propeller with only 643 hours SPOH, overhauled in 2023 following a rock chip. An IRAN/light overhaul was also completed on the engine at that time. Hot section inspection completed in 2020. A well-maintained, professionally operated Meridian with excellent utility and plenty of life remaining.
Recommended avionics upgrades
No IFR GPS navigator is listed — a GTN 650Xi is the standard entry point for WAAS/LPV capability.
See prices & suppliers ›No autopilot is listed — a GFC 500 (or S-TEC 3100 / Trio Pro Pilot where the GFC isn't STC'd) adds a modern digital autopilot with envelope protection, subject to model approval.
See prices & suppliers ›Suggestions are based on the panel described in this listing; verify STC approval for this make/model before any installation.
