M500
WELCOME TO THE M500 Sleek and sexy without sacrificing safety, the M500 is the profile of perfection. This single engine turboprop, with the latest in Garmin safety technology, remains a study in priorities. Six-place seating and a pressurized cabin comfortably accommodate passengers, prioritizing precious assets, while the 500 shp Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A turbine satisfies the most discerning pilot by providing adrenaline-inducing, powerful performance and legendary reliability. Like its Meridian predecessors before, the M500 is a celebrated crowd-pleaser and still the best value in its class.
AIRCRAFT DESIGN
INTERIOR DESIGN
COMFORT, STEPPED UP
As you step up the airstair door entrance into the spacious M500, you will be greeted with cabin-class seats featuring hand-selected leather, tanned in Italy. These natural leather seats offer not only luxury, but flexibility. With adjustable backrests and the ability to fold down, even more cabin space can be created for your passengers or luggage. Passengers have easy access to the interior baggage compartment and optional amenities such as the two 110-volt outlets. Situated around the cabin, you can also find the standard individual cup holders, reading lights, air vents, and built-in work table. LED accent strip lighting fills the cabin in warm light. All of these attributes work collectively to make any business or personal flight as comfortable as possible for pilots and passengers alike.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
DOUBLE TAKES ARE PERMITTED
The Meridian M500 exterior styling offers a two-tone scheme in Axalta Imron polyurethane paint with a choice of metallic or non-metallic colors. Registration numbers are color coordinated. Custom paint schemes are quoted upon request.

The all-glass Garmin G3000 avionics system integrates the most advanced safety technology found in the most modern commercial airliners. The innovative system produces overbanking, under-speed, over-speed protection and emergency descent protection, a Piper first, along with a digitally controlled pressurization system.
60/40 MODE AND ENHANCED MAP DISPLAY
No longer does the pilot need to, on approach, sacrifice their scan from the instruments to look down at the
approach plate. With 60/40 Mode, all invaluable situational information remains right in front of the
pilot. Included in the situational awareness package is the premier option SurfaceWatch.
SURFACEWATCH
As an additional safety feature, SurfaceWatch provides
aural and visual alerts to help the pilotmaintain situational
awareness and avoid potential runway incursions/excursions
during ground and air operations in an airport
environment.
ENHANCED HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI)
The Enhanced Map HSI is a new feature designed to increase situational awareness by overlaying
additional information onto the HSI display. Just as the HSI provides increased information
compared to the directional gyro, the Enhanced Map HSI further improves the HSI by allowing
greater information to be conveyed within the primary instrument scan. It can be used while in
60/40 Mode and supports overlays with combinations on Map, SafeTaxi, Flight Plan, METARs, NEXRAD,
Weather Radar, and more.
GFC 700 ENHANCED AUTOMATICFLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
The fully integrated flight control system provides exceptional flight automation
with a dual AHRS-based system. The system offers top safety features and incomparable
performance, seamlessly integrating a flight director, autopilot, automatic trim
and yaw damper into the G3000 suite. It also includes Electronic Stability Protection (ESP),
Level Mode, Underspeed Protection (USP), Emergency Descent Mode, and Coupled Go Around,
elevating pilot and passenger safety to the highest standards.
HYPOXIA RECOGNITION SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC DESCENT MODE
The standard GTX 33 ES provides ADS-B out functionality. ADS-B In can be achieved by adding the optional GTS-825 Traffic Advisory System. The GTS-825 (ADS-B In) traffic systems provide a comprehensive traffic picture. It can track up to 75 targets within a 40 nm interrogation range. Additionally, spoken ATC-like aural alerts help manage your safe flight.
