i'm back, didn't we do this yesterday i don't know what you mean don't mess with me porkchop
what day is this alex is back we are so we're going to fly this 350 to albuquerque today
and we're going to fly an m600 sls bat so we're gonna get to see
two great airplanes in action gonna be a good day m350 m-600 yeah let's go do it
oh that's right i forgot to mention it's different doesn't it yeah we're at phoenix sky harbor this
time so scottsdale's closed runway's getting repaved so we're at uh sky harbor today can
you believe that but look at this place it is jam-packed full of really awesome airplanes
so what we're going to do today is we're going to demo uh 350. you guys have seen it before
alex and i did a demo on a 350 on a previous video check up there we'll link to it and you guys can
watch that but uh we're going to fly this one down actually sam is going to fly this one back down
to uh or up to albuquerque and then we're going to pick up an m 600 and then fly it back so we'll get
to see that too so lots of good stuff we'll take a look at m350 which is a wonderful airplane and
alex is going to give us give us a ride let's go i got to tell you this new airplane this
new 350 i think hey alex what was what year was that 350 we flew before that was a 19.
19. so and this is a 21. this is a 2021. so the difference between a 19 and 21 man it's it's
at least back here look at this nice carbon fiber interiors have been upgraded even further yeah
the new overhead lights the standby is a garment standby now a small circular display oh wow right
and the radar has also been upgraded from that 68 to the death 75. wow that's nice and
you got a couple of uh usb plugins back here too you see back there and seats fold down
if you're a fine single pilot you'd be able to pull this down and put your drinks there and
maybe you're a first-class catering meal that you got that diamond also oh another uh ipad
another plug-in over here too i think sitting back here is pretty nice uh definitely when you
got guys up front flying and you're just kind of back here you got a little bit of a table
pull this guy out look at this carbon fiber really nice yeah
guys man that's a really nice airplane so you haven't uh checked out a piper m350
or even a m-600 that we're gonna do make sure you give these guys a call you know alex
here at cutter uh on the west coast services the west coast and texas so he's a great guy
he's always been super awesome with us so good stuff let's get it cranked and get some ac going
yeah it's a nice plane i mean for sure super nice been super nice i was very comfortable i
actually fell asleep a little bit all the way here because it is so comfortable oh
but good stuff we're gonna hop out of this and we'll show you the m600 actually we'll have alex
show us the m-600 yeah give us a little tour of that and then uh we're gonna head back to phoenix
all right uh sam and i are going to take a look at this m600 what do you think sam
i think it's pretty it is it looks just like that pilatus it does you show them the pilates
so there's the pilatus if you guys can see that but there's the m600 same colors and alex out
there it is the same color scheme as that pilatus over there which is the chances right uncanny yeah
it's pretty plain it's like a mini version it is like a mini version we keep opening up the lobby
door you have seen him before alex has been a uh a wealth of information also just a really good dude
so he's gonna take us around this beautiful m600 and just kind of give us the history about
the aircraft and kind of how the design went uh from the its earlier days as a malibu to what we
got today so let's check out alex thanks for the opportunity to show you the 21 piper m 600 sls
so we'll take a good look at it but before we start with the walk run i'll give you a little
bit of history on the on the 600 and as you may know the 600 came out in in the summer of 16.
and i'm oftentimes asked what is the difference between an m 600 and a meridian and the meridian
is now known as the m500 and it's really in three key areas the first is the m500 has g 1000 nxi
this now has g 3000 ng also a version of nxi uh the second big point is the max indicated airspeed
has increased from 188 on the m 500 to 250 knots now so you're coming down much faster in the m600
and and how is that possible it's all due to this new wink it's a clean sheet design wink
and the fuel went up from 170 gallons in the m500 to 260 gallons same 43 foot length or width
but the wing is much thicker and much wider as well so also the landing gear has been beefed up
you go from a five thousand one thirty four pound max takeoff weight on the m5 to six thousand pound
takeoff weight in the m six hundred six thousand fifty is a max ramp weight the landing gear is is
set is wider and set further back so even more stable for taxing and also when you land it uh
one thing i'll also touch up on is i'm also asked what is the sls mean in the m600 and that came out
sls started in 2020 and the first s is for safety that's being the auto land and auto throttle which
will be certified in the near future but aircraft has full auto lane capability and of an emergency
the l is for luxury the interiors this is one of our new interiors you have a array of interiors to
choose from on the piper website and the interiors have really been upgraded in the past couple years
and then the last s is support you have a five-year 1500 hour maintenance plan that covers
all your maintenance for five years not counting consumables you ready to fly oh yeah let's do this
the one funny thing is i was telling sam this this is the first turbo prop i've ever flown i've never
flown a turbo one-hour duel one hour of doing it's gonna be my first time flying to turboprop so i'm
pretty excited so uh we're gonna grab our stuff and then we're gonna head in and then uh you're
gonna get to see me fly the airplane i'll hook up some cameras and hey man let's let's do it let's
head back to phoenix let's do it all right all right guys here we go we're all set to start this
bad boy up got the battery switch on right now and uh this is going to talk me through the rest
of it all right great so like i mentioned on the walk around the one two three rule right yep so
one we've got battery on good okay we've got at least 24 volts on the battery all right number two
fuel pumps igniters manual manual manual means on all right okay and number three what
we're going to do is we're going to hit this auto start button hold it for about a second
okay let it go we're going to train put our eyes make sure the overall pressure
fuel flow comes alive and we're going to look for at least 13 compressor speed okay before
i lift this up and give it fuel gotcha okay okay so ernie why can you go ahead and hit the
start button for us there we go starting this big opt-6 all right you can let it go we got fuel flow
we got oil pressure coming up we got at least 13 percent we'll see if we get a little more
okay very good and i'm gonna lift up the there we go got it in and condition lever is up
ng is pulling up we got fuel flow itt's rising
right into the yellow today since it's been it didn't even happen the yellow even though
it's it's at 35 celsius high elevation airport albuquerque starter will disengage at 56
as you can see starting a lot cooler a little slower and starter has disengaged
so now we'll go auto off gin of avionics i like to put pulse light on and go flaps to take off and we
can put our headset on albuquerque clearance uh meridian five nine foxtrot golf with uniform by

yeah thank you john for coming today we got to see the m350 in action
the m-600 as well so no better way to see an airplane than on a on a flight
where we're going places yeah so all great airplanes there's different capabilities and
we really got to vet it today it's an amazing place yeah it was really awesome uh alex did a
super job as always showing us the capabilities of the airplane we actually got to go somewhere today
uh instead of just flying in a circle so it was really good for him um thanks for watching thanks
alex for uh hooking us up with the rides sam got to hang out in the back like i did on the
way up there so what do you think of the back the back is phenomenal i can sleep in the back
and just fly around in circles i'll sleep all day yeah yeah that was awesome all right guys
thanks again uh we'll talk to you later we're back we're back hey we just want to say uh
thanks you guys for watching um we really uh got a really good look at this m600 versus the 350.
and uh sam what did you think i thought it was phenomenal the 650 um or 600 definitely a more
capable plane it felt a little bit more powerful a little bit honestly maybe even quieter a little
bit yeah i think so yeah it was a little bit more maybe some sound proofing in there or maybe it was
just that pt6 that is just humming but uh yeah a lot of real high-end kind of jet style type stuff
air brakes and speed brakes yeah all kinds of neat stuff so i thought it was amazing it was new to me
yeah piper's bringing it so anyways all right guys uh again thank you for watching we appreciate it
