Piper Aircraft president and CEO Simon Caldecott delivered a 1-2-3 punch of energy to the sub-6,000-pound general aviation market on April 13 when he introduced the M series of piston and turboprop singles (formerly the PA-46 series) and a new flagship at a celebration at the company’s 750,000-sq-ft manufacturing plant in Vero Beach, Fla. The M series starts at $1.1 million and ranges upwards to a little less than $3 million for a fully loaded top-of-the-line model.
