Piper Aircraft’s M700 Fury has received type certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Brazil’s Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (ANAC) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia, including approval for flight into known icing (FIKI) and unpaved surfaces. Customers in these regions have been eagerly awaiting these certifications to take delivery of their aircraft, beginning this month.

The aircraft was announced by Piper in February this year, then certified by the FAA in March and by Transport Canada in August.

The M700 Fury is the fastest single-engine aircraft in Piper’s history, offering a maximum cruise speed of 301 knots and a range of 1,424 nautical miles. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engine, this cabin-class turboprop combines exceptional performance with advanced features, including the HALO Safety System with Garmin’s Emergency Autoland and FIKI, making it ideal for both private owners and operators.

“The EASA, ANAC, and CASA certifications are significant milestones for the M700 Fury,” says president and CEO John Calcagno. “These approvals reinforce our commitment to delivering a world-class aircraft with exceptional performance, safety and versatility to key international markets.”

The M700 Fury is designed with both safety and ease of use in mind. Safety-enhancing features include Garmin’s Electronic Stability Protection (ESP), SurfaceWatch and SafeTaxi, providing pilots with increased awareness and control. For ease of use, the aircraft is equipped with autothrottle and Garmin PlaneSync, simplifying operations and streamlining preflight and in-flight procedures.
