Piper says the M600sls has standalone autothrottle. What does it mean ? Overtorque and overtemp protection ? Automatic takeoff thrust ? Can the levers move on their own? Or is it only for the emergency mode ? Then it's not standalone.

Hi Andre, The M600/sls has auto-throttle and for now that system is only available within the Auto-land regimen. Certification for the auto-throttle outside of auto-land is in progress and anticipated soon.

Update .. The Piper M600 is indeed now “auto-land and auto-throttle equipped. This means the FMS mode will set the power dependent on the operation; climb cruise descent. In the manual mode the pilot can select a specific speed; approach speed, Va, Ice penetration speed etc. It is a joy to fly and I believe it is the ideal single pilot aircraft for first time turbine pilots.

No radio calls into uncontrolled airport?

Anyone want to comment?

Unless they were edited out, they obviously needed to be made. Wonderful airplane, solid instruction. I assume that the client/owner is a new pilot, or significantly distracted by the workload of the new aircraft. The radio calls were not very stellar. But then again, that’s why he’s receiving solid instruction. At least that’s my assumption.

While radio calls into an uncontrolled airport are good practice they are not required by regulations. A radio isn't even required equipment for day VFR.

Hi Dick, Great videos! I’m stay tune. So, what’s the M600’s speed for turbulence ?

@RWRPilotTraining Год назад

Hi, I use the same speed for the M600 as for the other PA46 aircraft.. 130 kts. It is important to remember that this is the ice penetration/maneuvering speed (more or less) for the PA46. This is why I like it for departures and approaches. The exact speeds are to be found, of course in the POH. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR

I was taught that you don’t want to use the boots until you have a certain amount of ice accumulated. If you use it too early, you can reduce the future effectiveness of the boots during that icing encounter.

Hi Jake, The training you received is based on a theory that was never really proven and which is rendered irrelevant by modern boot design. The theory got its “wings” from Ernest Gann’s book, “Fate is the Hunter”. The theory caught on in spite of many learned rebuttals. Neil Singer put it to rest, I believe in 2013 in his AOPA article on the subject: “Extensive wind-tunnel testing has shown that deice boots are as effective at shedding ice when activated at the first sign of accretion as when activated after one-quarter inch of ice had accumulated.” There is lots of new information which supports the AOPA article. Let me know your thoughts… DR .. Fly Safely - Train Often.
