Will Allow For Sales And Deliveries Of The Airplane In 2017

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation of Mexico (DGAC) has granted type validation for the Piper M600, marking the first approval of the airplane in the Central and South American region. 

"M600 validation in Mexico is exciting news for Piper and our prospective customers in that region," said Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott. "The M600 is ideally suited to the Central American region with its expanded range, payload and speed.  The aircraft is ideally suited to multiple mission profiles and offers the added advantage of Garmin G3000 avionics as well as state of the art safety features.  We are delighted to serve this market and are looking forward to expanding our growing list of customers within the country of Mexico."
 
Application for validation was filed shortly after receipt of the type certificate from the FAA.  The expedient response from the Mexican DGAC paves the way for M600 sales and deliveries in 2017.
