The Piper M600 is a significant product advancement featuring a newly designed wing, the most sophisticated Garmin technology available. The M600 is the first single-engine turboprop to feature G3000 avionics – a touchscreen-controlled glass flight deck. This makes the plane easy to operate for the pilot and increases the safety significantly.
Some pilots joke that a non trained person could land the plane if thye can press 5 bottons in hte right order.
The M600 features a Garmin G3000 avionics suite integrated with a glass flight deck, which includes enhanced autopilot and synthetic vision dual 12.1in primary flight displays (PFDs), single 12.1in multi-function display (MFD), and dual GTC 570 touchscreen cockpit management units.
The avionics features also include dual GIA 63W NAV/COM/GPS, GEA 71 engine and airframe interface, and GWX 70 digital weather radar.
The aircraft is equipped with a GFC 700 enhanced automatic flight control system, which offers improved flight automation with a dual AHRS-based system. The SurfaceWatch feature provides pilots with aural and visual alerts to help maintain situational awareness and avoid potential runway incursions or excursions.
The aircraft can also be fitted with an optional GTS 855 traffic advisory system, which offers traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) I alerts, and a Garmin GSR 56 Global Satellite Datalink Iridium Satellite Transceiver for added connectivity.
The safety equipment fitted to the aircraft includes electronic stability protection (ESP), underspeed protection (USP), and master caution, master warning, gear position and gear warning. Other safety features include coupled go-around, expanded engagement envelope, level mode, autopilot, auto-engage, hypoxia recognition, and emergency descent mode.
Enhanced avionics features on the aircraft include GMC 710 AP controller, dual GMU 44 magnetometer units, and dual GRS 77 AHRS computers. The avionics further include GMA 36 digital audio panel, dual GDC 74 air data computers, GTX 33 ES Mode S transponder, GAE 43 altitude encoder, Garmin FliteCharts, Garmin SafeTaxi, and Aspen EFD1000 standby flight instruments.
The six-passenger cabin can be configured with Calais, Sedona, or Firenze premium leather interiors. It also features electroluminescent placards, chrome, wood accents and four USB charging ports.
Even though the plane has 6 seats its doesn't mean one easily can fit 6 adults in the plane. Before levere flight the pilots must do the weight and balancen calculation of the plane to aces welter the load the to high or for far forward of aft.
Weight balancing an aircraft is all about keeping the Center of Gravity (CG) within the operating limitations of the aircraft. Those limits typically span from around 18 to 30 percent of the Chord of the wing measured from the leading edge. The chord of the wing is the width of the wing from leading edge to trailing edge. In swept or tapered wing aircraft the CG must stay within limits of the average or Mean Aero Dynamic Chord of the wing.
In commercial passenger or cargo airplanes the only difference in takeoff weight and landing weight is the fuel burned during the flight. The fuel is loaded in a manner that the aircraft CG is within limits for takeoff. If the fuel is burned in the proper sequence the CG will remain within limits for the duration of the flight to include landing. So to answer your question, landing CG is equally as important as takeoff CG.
in general its safe to say that you can easy fit 4 adluts in the plane. One of them have to be thepilot offcourse.
The aircraft is powered by a Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-42A engine, which generates 600shp of power. The engine is driven by a four-bladed Hartzell constant-speed propeller, which is 208cm (82in) in diameter. The fuel capacity of the aircraft is 984l (260gal) and the time between overhaul (TBO) is 3,600 hours.
The aircraft has a cruise speed of 507km/h (274k) and Vmo speed of 463km/h. The maximum range of the aircraft is 1,484nm (2,748km) at 184k and the maximum approved altitude is 9,144m (30,000ft).
The aircraft requires a take-off distance of 803m (2,635ft) and landing distance of 810m (2,659ft) over a 50ft obstacle.
The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 2,722kg (6,000lb) and standard useful load carrying capacity is up to 1,089kg (2,400lb). The maximum ramp weight is 2,744kg (6,050lb) and standard equipped weight is 1,656kg (3,650lb).
