Piper Aircraft’s new <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-05-29/flying-pipers-turboprop-single-m700-fury">M700 Fury</a> single-engine turboprop has received type certificate validation from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), marking the aircraft's first nod outside the U.S. The validation includes flight into known icing (FIKI) conditions approval, and the initial Canadian delivery is scheduled for this quarter.
Piper anticipates additional international deliveries this year into EASA countries, the UK, and Brazil as those validations are obtained. "The first international certification of the M700 Fury with FIKI from TCCA is a crucial part of the overall value proposition of the M700 Fury, as well as a key safety feature for operators,” said John Calcagno, Piper president and CEO.
The FAA certified the $4.15 million M700 in March and FIKI approval followed in May. The aircraft comes standard with the Halo safety system, featuring Garmin Emergency Autoland. It also features the G3000 avionics suite with autothrottle, emergency descent mode, electronic stability protection, SurfaceWatch, SafeTaxi, and PlaneSync.
Powered by a Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada PT6A-52 700-shp engine, the M700 has a maximum cruise speed of 301 knots, a max range of 1,852 nm at a 206-knot cruising speed, and a standard useful load of 2,320 pounds.
