As Piper’s current new single-engine turboprop fleet—the M500 and M600—grows in numbers and capabilities, the factory, working with AeroMech, has added reduced vertical separation minima (RVSM) as a factory option on all new aircraft. Previously, RVSM could only be added to these airplanes post-production. RVSM certification is required for all aircraft operating worldwide above FL280.
Piper Offers RVSM Factory Option on Both the M500 and M600
Key Takeaways:
- Piper now offers Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) as a factory-installed option for its new M500 and M600 single-engine turboprops, a change from previous post-production availability.
- RVSM certification allows M500/M600 pilots to operate above FL280/FL300, gaining benefits such as fuel savings, increased range, and the ability to fly above weather.
- This factory upgrade, approved by the FAA, EASA, and ANAC, also promises owners higher resale values and shorter time on the market for their aircraft.
