All Piper M-Class turboprop singles—the Meridian/M500 and M600/SLS—are now approved to use up to a 50 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blend, the company said this week at Aero Friedrichshafen in Germany. It further added that the SAF nod applies to every country where turbine M-Class aircraft operate.

The introduction of SAF to the Piper turboprop line will not require a change in aircraft placarding or pilot operating handbooks, the Vero Beach, Florida-based aircraft manufacturer said.
