Piper Aircraft has received Flight into Known Icing (FIKI) certification from the FAA for its new flagship aircraft, the M700 Fury.

“The M700 Fury, boasting a max cruise speed of 301ktas and a max range of 1,852nm, includes some of the most advanced safety features in the industry,” says president and CEO John Calcagno. “The certification of FIKI is a crucial part of the overall value proposition of the M700 Fury, as well as a key safety feature for the operator.”

The FIKI system comes standard on all M700 Fury aircraft and is an electromechanical expulsion deicing system located on the tail as well as the leading edge of the wing.

International certifications for the M700 and FIKI are progressing as planned and on track for deliveries to those regions beginning in Q3, 2024.

The Piper M700 Fury was certified in March 2024 and comes standard with the HALO safety system, featuring Garmin Emergency Autoland. Additionally, its G3000 avionics suite includes autothrottle, emergency descent mode, electronic stability protection, SurfaceWatch, SafeTaxi and Garmin PlaneSync, all of which are designed to enhance safe operation of the aircraft.

Beyond the flight deck, the six-seat M700 Fury is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 700 SHP engine. The aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of 301ktas/557km/hr, a max range of 1852nm/3,430km and a standard useful load of 2,320lbs/1,052kg.
