In my experience of 10 years with a Meridian, the single worst aspect of ownership was the costs of maintenance. I have a CJ2 now and it is 1/4 the annual costs to service.

@brandonadams7837 2 ай бұрын

What specifically costs so much more? Just more to inspect so more hours to pay out to maintenance?

@@brandonadams7837 The biggest issue I found with the Meridian was the cost of services required. I was replacing a tremendous amount of parts and the service intervals on the plane under part 91 were extraordinarily costly. As compared to my CJ2, the costs were significantly higher with the Meridian. Average annual was $35,000 plus labor, plus parts as needed.

@@erikj.nuveenmddmd6557 what other aircraft did you consider? Epic? Vision Jet?

@erikj.nuveenmddmd6557 2 ай бұрын

No. I had transtioned to dual engine and once you do, it is hard to consider single engine options. In the dual turbofan category, I was thinking Honda Jet (very difficult maintenance issues, availability of parts and brake issues), Embraer Phenom 300 and CJ 2-4. I went with the CJ2 because it is a fantastic plane, mission is commonly 1,100 miles and parts are plentiful. Acquisition cost of 2.0-3.5m makes it a bargain.

I like it. The cockpit displays are insanely nice. And the power. Oh the power. Wow.

There is no problem flying this plane in known ice. I have done it more than 100 times in mine. FIKI certified, boots on wings and tail. No issue at all.

Piper should implement the RED V12 Diesel engine into Malibu, this would be the ultimate value proposition!

Forget the $1M more expensive TBM, the Piper M700 doesn't compare well against an Epic E1000 at around the same price. The Epic is faster (333 knots), climbs faster (4000 fpm), and climbs higher (FL340) to get above weather with its 1200 shp PT6A. The Epic has a much larger cabin and useful load. The E1000 may still be the only certified plane that cruises at over 300 knots while burning less than 50 gph in cruise.

What was the purpose of this video? It provided virtually no information. How about climb rates and cruise speeds/fuel burns at high, mid, and econo cruise speeds and useful load.

I would rather buy the EPIC E1000 GX

Agreed. I have yet to see an airplane tick as many boxes as the Epic.

Maybe it's just the way of cutting the video, but it looks like you were making the steepturns while only looking inside. That's not prohibited of course, but a bit strange to me to do that if it's not mandatory (like on an IFR checkride). Nice video though, cool plane. Greetings from Europe!

@flywithaopa 3 ай бұрын

Hi Patrick, Thanks for watching! In order to capture the air to air footage you saw, we had to fly at a lower speed to stay in formation. We conduct our photo/video missions in a Bonanza which flies at the lower end of the Fury’s speed range, hence why you see the slower flight footage.

@michaelmartin8331 3 ай бұрын

@@flywithaopa Thats fine but the real improvement, maybe the only one, is the new engine which results in a better climb rate and faster cruise speeds. It would have been nice to see what a real world rate of climb is, what the "normal" cruise TAS is and the fuel burn in cruise. Also, max speed of a TBM is 333 TAS I believe and normal cruise speed is 315-320. Just compare apples to apples not what the normal cruise speed of one plane vs the max speed of the other.
