Piper PA-46-701TP
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Piper M700 Fury is the newest and fastest PA-46: the M600 airframe with a 700 shp PT6A-52 in place of the 600 shp -42A, lifting maximum cruise to about 301 knots. It keeps the M600's wing, its pressurised six-seat cabin and Garmin Autoland.
Thirty extra knots for roughly an extra million dollars is the trade, and whether it is worth it depends entirely on how many hours a year an owner flies. The aircraft is otherwise the same: the smallest pressurised single-engine turbine, well suited to an owner-pilot who wants flight levels without a type rating, and cramped with six adults aboard. The important reservation is fleet age — the M700 entered service in 2024, so there is no service history, no established resale market and no independent operating-cost data. Every figure here is essentially a manufacturer figure.

How these estimates are built. Fuel = this model's typical burn x the national average price from AirNav's Fuel Price Report (100LL $7.41, Jet A $7.66 per gallon, 5 Oct 2026; your airport may differ by $2 or more). Engine reserve = typical overhaul cost / TBO for this engine. The remaining lines are class-level defaults, not quotes for this aircraft: annual inspection is the base inspection fee (findings are counted in the per-hour maintenance line); insurance assumes an instrument-rated owner with time in type and a $1M liability limit - less experienced pilots commonly pay 1.5-2x; hangar and tie-down are national mid-tier figures, with rural and metro options; the rental rate is a 2026 flight-school rate for a comparable aircraft, including fuel. Twin and turboprop maintenance defaults are estimates, not published figures. Sources: AirNav, BWI Aviation Insurance (2019-2026), Flying (May 2026), Savvy Aviation, American Flight Schools, published airport rate sheets. Every default is editable - change any number to match your situation. Depreciation, taxes, financing and major upgrades are not included. Depreciation is not included. An estimate, not a quote.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories. When accident record and severity cannot be scored because the model has too few records, the other three give a partial score out of 30, labelled as such; it is never set against a full score.
