Piper Pilots Are Plunking Down Deposits For Meridian, Mirage,
And Matrix
Avidyne has rolled out an Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight
Deck (R9) upgrade program for Piper PA-46 Meridian, Mirage,
and Matrix aircraft. The company debuted the first Entegra
R9-equipped Piper PA-46 Matrix at the Cirrus Owners and Pilots
Association Migration (COPA M8) event last week in Dayton,
Ohio.
The COPA Migration in Dayton, Ohio provided a unique opportunity
for the Cirrus community to see the new R9-equipped Matrix first
hand. The aircraft flew numerous demonstration flights on Thursday
afternoon and all day Friday and Saturday.
"The PA-46 represents an ideal step-up airplane for the Cirrus
owner looking for enhanced performance and more cabin space," said
Avidyne Chief Operating Officer Patrick Herguth. "The ability to
get a cabin-class PA-46 aircraft with an Avidyne R9 suite makes it
an even more attractive option for the thousands of existing PA-46
and Cirrus owners who prefer Avidyne's avionics design philosophy
and overall ease of use."
"Avidyne's Entegra Release 9 suite is a very attractive upgrade
for many of our customers who are purchasing both new and used
PA-46's," said Mike Borden, of High Performance Aircraft in El
Cajon, California. "We just sold two more PA-46s, a new
Entegra-equipped Meridian and a Matrix, that include an Avidyne
coupon which allows PA-46 customers to upgrade to the Release 9
package for only $50,000. It's a very attractive option that allows
my clients to get new Piper with the next generation of Avidyne
avionics."
ANN is flying the R9 equipped Matrix Friday. Look for our report
soon.
