Piper PA-46R-350T Matrix G-EXPO

Are you in search of the ultimate turbocharged, de-iced, step-up aircraft? Look no further than the 2010 Piper Matrix. This aircraft is the pinnacle choice for those who have meticulously evaluated every option within this price range, comparing performance and value. While numbers provide a quantifiable perspective, what they can't convey is the unparalleled passenger comfort that the Piper Matrix offers.

If the opinions of your rear-seat passengers matter to you, the Piper Matrix will leave you hard-pressed to say no. Its air stair entry, spacious walk-through club seating, and modern interior are designed to put passengers at ease. This aircraft isn't just about spending £675k; it's about reallocating funds into a new class of asset. When it's time to move on from a prime-condition aircraft like this you simply hand over the keys. Well bought aircraft, have always been the same.

This 2010 model boasts a mere 961 hours total time, with only 434 hours on the 350hp Lycoming engine, equipped with dual turbochargers and intercoolers, which was overhauled in 2019. The propeller underwent overhaul during the last annual inspection in July 2023, accumulating just 63 hours since.

The Matrix stands as the non-pressurized variant of the esteemed PA46 line, perfectly suited for the purpose it has been utilized for by its current owners. Its forte lies in rapid 2-300nm jaunts across the UK and Northern Europe.
