M600 Utilization Prompts Piper To Up Warranty Hours
The aircraft rolled out in 2015 with an original five-year/1,000-hour warranty, but now has a five-year/1,500-hour warranty timeframe.
In the past three years, fleet utilization of Piper's M600 has been greater than expected.

Citing higher-than-anticipated utilization for its M600, Piper Aircraft is boosting the warranty of the turboprop single from five years/1,000 flight hours to five years/1,500 flight hours for those delivered since 2016. The Vero Beach, Florida OEM unveiled the six-seat, 1,300-nm M600 in April 2015 originally with the five-year/1,000-flight hour warranty. Since that time, Piper has delivered nearly 100 of the model and the fleet has accumulated more than 21,000 fleet hours. This fleet has shown that both utilization and stage lengths are greater than expected, Piper said.
