Piper Meridian G1000 demo flight

In 1997, Piper announced its intention to market a turboprop-powered version of the Malibu, and flew a prototype the following year powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A of 500 shaft horsepower  (370 kW). Certification was achieved in September 2000 and deliveries began in November that year. Changes made to allow for turboprop power include larger wings and tail surfaces. In 2009, Piper began equipping the Meridian with a three screen version of the Garmin G1000 including the Garmin GFC 700 autopilot as standard equipment.
