It will now also be the\nfirst general aviation aircraft in the world to be certified with Autoland\ncapability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SAFETY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HALOTM Safety System is a compilation of innovative\ntechnologies unique to the M600 SLS and the Garmin G3000 avionics suite. The\nsystem includes Auto-throttle, Emergency Descent Mode, Enhanced Stability and\nProtection, Surface Watch, Safe Taxi, Flight Stream connectivity and more.\nHowever, of greatest significance is the addition of Garmin Autoland &#8211; digital\ntechnology that safely lands the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport in\nthe event that the pilot is incapacitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Halo system, once engaged either automatically or by a\npassenger, gains immediate situational awareness and assumes control of all\nsystems necessary to bring you and your passengers safely to the best suited\nrunway. During all phases of flight it communicates with passengers and\nappropriate air traffic control facilities regarding the new flight plan route\nand estimated time until landing. Halo continually monitors all aircraft system\nparameters and real-time external inputs as if the pilot were at the controls.\nIt takes into account runway size and orientation, wind, time, fuel range,\nglide path and considers weather conditions and terrain en route to the nearest\nsuitable runway. Once Halo has landed the aircraft, the braking system will\nactivate and bring the aircraft to a full and complete stop. Finally, the\nengine will shut down and instructions will be provided on how to exit the\naircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LUXURY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The M600 SLS raises the bar in Luxury with the addition of\nthe EXP interior package as standard equipment. The interior package was\ndesigned with a focus on the personal travel experience and enables the\ncustomer to select from sophisticated interior color palettes with custom\nmaterials, stitching patterns and contrasting threads. Veneer and trim finishes\nfurther enhance the sense of unmatched refinement.&nbsp; Additionally, thoughtfully designed interior\noptions, like two toned leather seats and Alcantara fabric have been added to\nelevate the passenger experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SUPPORT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ownership of a M600 SLS is backed by an exclusive service\nprogram for the first five years of ownership. The Ultimate Care Program\nincludes all scheduled maintenance, as well as hourly and calendar-based\ninspections.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The M600 SLS and its HALO<sup>TM<\/sup> Safety System\nwith Autoland is the result of an unwavering commitment to safety as well as\nthe desire to evolve our products based on market input, said President and\nCEO, Simon Caldecott. &#8220;The HALO System greatly enhances situational\nawareness and operational safety through the use of advanced technology and is\none the most significant advancements in General Aviation history. The team at\nPiper Aircraft is proud that they will be first to market with Garmin Autoland,\nwhich will ultimately help pave the way for others.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certification of the M600 SLS is imminent with deliveries\nbeginning this quarter through the global Piper Dealer network at a price point\nof $2.994M.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Piper Aircraft announced today, the next generation M Series aircraft &#8211; the M600 SLS, standard equipped with the new HALOTM Safety System &#8211; enhancing Safety, Luxury, and Support for one of the world&#8217;s leading personal use, Basic Med compliant aircraft.
