Piper Aircraft has received type certification from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority for the M700 FURY, including approval for Flight into Known Icing. This paves the way for deliveries to the UK, with the first delivery scheduled for this month. The M700 FURY, Piper’s fastest single-engine aircraft to date, boasts a maximum cruise speed of 301 knots and a maximum range of 1,424 nautical miles. Powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engine, the cabin-class turboprop offers exceptional performance paired with advanced safety features, including the HALO Safety System with Garmin Emergency Autoland.
Ron Gunnarson, VP of Sales, Marketing & Customer Support at Piper Aircraft commented: “We are proud to achieve UK CAA certification for the M700 FURY. This milestone reinforces Piper’s dedication to meeting the needs of global markets with innovative and capable aircraft like the FURY.”
Designed with a focus on safety and simplicity, the M700 FURY features Garmin’s Electronic Stability Protection, SurfaceWatch, and SafeTaxi, enhancing pilot situational awareness. Autothrottle and Garmin PlaneSync™ further streamline flight operations, ensuring ease of use for operators.
Alex Brown, Commercial Director of British European Aviation Group—the Piper Dealer for Christmas Island, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom stated: “The UK CAA certification of the M700 FURY is fantastic news for our market. We are excited to bring Piper’s new flagship aircraft to operators across the region, beginning with the first delivery this month. We will soon be announcing dates for a 2025 sales tour across the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands, Spain and Portugal, so feel free to reach out if you want us to do a demo at your local airfield.”
The certification from the UK CAA completes the last of the customer committed certifications promised at the beginning of the year. Piper is now working on additional foreign certifications as the expansion of sales includes Mexico, Colombia, and Asian markets.
