M600 bladder buster

Thought I’d share this (publicly available) flight posted on MMOPA: 6h45 to cover 1868nm. The M600 (beefed up version of the Piper Meridian) is so far attracting a lot of raving comments from the first owners, in particular for its range.

Impressive range. That’s more than a PC12 or a TBM can do, it seems. Obviously, Turbo Commanders have been doing longer than that for 40 years…

Well I just did 4.6 hours doing 1500nm with an 80 knot headwind and that was enough for me.

Nobody (especially not a male) can safely do a 6.75hr flight without a provision for having a pee

@loco will know more about the current model TBM range but even an old 700 can do 1800nm to zero fuel, at about the same TAS as this guy’s GS works out at (about 270kt) so much depends on how close you cut it and the tailwind.
