A no excuses traveling machine. I flight plan for 195 knots at FL200 / FL210 and with the TSIO-550 STC, the engine is loafing at 60% power burning 15.5 GPH LOP. For pure efficiency, it is just about impossible to beat this airframe / power plant combination.

That's a lot of airplane for the money! GLWS!

This looks FIKI. Is it?
What’s the useful load with full fuel?

The PA46 series carries 120 gallons of fuel. So full-fuel payload would be:

1400 - (120*6) = 680lbs

PA46's are FIKI. Some of the worst ice I have ever had has been in the summer descending from the flight levels, and with a hot prop, boots and and ice plate, N589E sheds ice well. With that said, it's a piston single. FIKI in a piston single is to get out of trouble, not to go charging into it.

A lot of airplane for the money! Looks good

Beautiful airplane. GLWTS.

I know I'm the third commenter saying the same thing:

This is a lot o aeroplane for the money!

There was a time I was shopping for this exact airplane.

Oh, Full fuel useful load matters very infrequently when she burns ~16gph and holds 120 gallons.

In a plane like this, do you flight plan 16gph, or is it one of those "1st hour burns X, all subsequent hours burns Y"?

Great question Jim. A rule of thumb is 20 gallons to get altitude and 100 miles downrange, (Although coming out of the Denver area with a heads start, I usually see more like 10 gallons to get to altitude). So, from sea level, you level off at FL210 with 100 gallons remaining. With a comfortable reserve, call that another 5.5 hours hours at 15.5 gph and 195 knots. You need a pretty stiff headwind for it to not be a 1000nm airplane, and with a push the previous owner used to do Denver to Florida non stop.

Just wish it would fit in my hangar!

How does the Aerocruze 230 work? That's the first one I've seen in the wild.

The Aerocruz 230 is actually a shockingly capable autopilot once you understand it. I love the touch screen and easy visualization of what is enabled and armed. Not a lot of shops support it. So, I have all the maintenance manuals and the software to program it. The logic has both a control path and redundant monitoring path. The error logs are so complete that they were able to help me troubleshoot and resolve an open wire in the Aspen EA100 module.

These are the best piston traveling airplanes. Period. I loved mine.

What a fantastic example. This is a beautiful machine. GLWS.
