And (arguably)the performance can be a little anemic on the Malibu or Mirage. @L`YKUJNGBP\poR=_;Dl'P(T So, a pilot could have 110 gallons for cruise flight if completely full of fuel at takeoff and has great landing conditions. while cruising at 225 KTAS at FL180. 0000044633 00000 n The Piper JetProp is a turbine engine conversion made for the Piper Malibu and the Malibu Mirage. But, the Jetprop has a loyal tribe of followers and are still selling conversions at a good rate. about C$295. It also has the updated Garmin G1000 NXi flight system, like the M350. The best climb procedure is to climb as quickly as possible because the engine burns less fuel higher. Comparisons between the DLX and Pipers own purpose-built, single-engine turboprop, the PA-46-500T Meridian, are unavoidable. Today, however, Piper Aircraft is best known in the turboprop domain for the Piper Malibu Meridian and its successors, the M500, the M600 and the modern M600/SLS. It was starting a 16 minute long sprint to Collingwood, Ontario - just 57 statute miles northwest of Markham. Like the JetProp, the Royal Turbine needs 0000001961 00000 n On 21 January 2019, a PA-46-310P travelling from Nantes Atlantique Airport, France, to Cardiff Airport, Wales, crashed into the water off Alderney in the English Channel.

Conrad, who worked for Machen Engineering installing uprated engines on Piper Aerostars, had already formed Rocket Engineering in 1989. joined the circuit, and extended the landing gear. But, every pilot must consider their mission. Pipers Meridian turboprop, which arrived a few years after the JetProp, utilizes a horizontal stabilizer thats 37 percent larger than the JetProps stock Malibu/Mirage tail to better absorb the added power. ?/cS>|?~t39d[vL!BCH&J`HHKqhE*s#{tfVIt>! The conversion cost is US$807,000 and The truth is that the DLX and Meridian have similar specificationsspeed, range, and useful loads are similar, for examplebut the Meridians PT6A-42 engine (derated from 850 to 500 shp) burns slightly more fuel and has 170-gallon fuel tanks, compared to the DLXs 151-gallon fuel capacity. increased to takeoff power, which took only a few seconds, N626N Full fuel is 151 gallons (1,021 pounds) or about three hours worth with reserves. Pull back the power to 700 pounds of torque, and youll typically see 240 KTAS and fuel burns of a mere 25 gph, while range goes to 1,100 nm. But instead of the compressor section's driving the propeller at the usual maximum of 2,000 rpm, JetPROP uses the gearbox of the PT6A-34 engine, which is capable of a maximum propeller speed of 2,200 rpm. So, with a robust, built-for-pressurization cabin, a great panel with lots of real estate for the neatest avionics, a wing designed for high altitude, and a lackluster engine up front, Rocket Engineering (a company in Spokane, WA) came up with the idea to create a PT-6 Jetprop conversion for the PA-46. Conversion is a good time to consider upgrading avionics, interior, or paint. PbLSZTLEE(8E@'*1mg_*eTnN*;*'V3+gm-EEetX%;Bo$ur2ss*N`.-!.kG_q6GDD' It is fast, cheaper to operate, has a slightly higher range, and can be bought nearly $100k less than a -34/-35.
