Flying the 2021 Piper M600SLS & Piper M350 | FlyingWithBigErn

Sam and I had a blast flying a brand new Piper M350 and Piper M600SLS. I got the chance to fly a little bit of the Piper M600SLS and wow what an airplane! What kind of content do you all want to see next? Hopping back and forth from the Boeing 737 to the SR22T (Green Hornet) in these next couple of videos. Hope you enjoy it, cheers!

Loved this though with a bit of jealousy. My dream in college was to work for Piper and do the exact things Alex is doing. He has accomplished the dream I failed to achieve so I congratulate him on that. I am still a big Piper fan (learned to fly in the 70's on Cherokees) but I'm 69 now so too late to restart my life and career. I do hope some developer will bring the M600 to Microsoft Flight Simulator so I can fly it on the computer. Thanks so much to you all!

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

It really is a great company. I love their products. I always say it’s never too late. You never know. Best of luck to you Dennis!

Starting training for my Private Pilot's Certificate tomorrow morning @ 0700. Gonna be awesome!

That’s great! Congrats! Enjoy every minute of it👍🏽

Congrats and good luck I got my license when I was 16, Im 51 now and I fly the 74-8 late night filled full of passengers that dont complain (boxes). Just use common sense and never be afraid to ask questions

[@borneo4x4]

Great video as usual but I would have loved to see the acceleration and take off on the turbo prop of the M600 SLS. Wow, what a plane!

[@austingunn734]

Wow! What an airplane! The M600 is an incredibly capable plane. What a beaut.

Very nice planes. I'd love to fly either one.....or also a 737

[@BigWalkinTallV]

Hey Ernie, I just wanted to sincerely thank you so much for your channel and these amazing videos. I’ve been watching these daily as I plan out my career change into aviation at the age of 30. Although I feel a bit behind the age curve, I’m confident I can make it happen in due time! Ground school starts in a month! Your positive attitude, informational content and all the interviews with these people who have mastered their craft are so helpful and inspirational. Many, many thanks from Los Angeles!

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Great to hear that feedback my friend. This is what the channel is all about. I’m glad you are chasing your dream. Best of luck and enjoy the journey👍🏽

Glorious aeroplanes both, you lucky guys✌️😊👍💜 I think that the new Beech (or is that a Cessna) Denali looks more like a PC12🤔🤔🤔😳🤣🤣✌️👍

[@oreo10111]

Buying a Cirrus replacement already? Pipers putting a lot of effort to keep these whips competitive, and they're doing a great job. No complaints from the old Meridian line, and they still support it very well.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Just looking😁. But yes Piper has a great product

[@GeeThree50]

@@FlyingwithBigErn DO IT. You or Sam will not regret it. The range rings were all I needed to see. I’m sure the operating costs are SUBSTANTIALLY higher but if you’re flying it enough then I’m sure it’ll be worth every penny.

Hopefully I can catch you on a flight one day and also one day fly with you as a pilot I still have ways to go I’m 14…but I want to do like how you did like fly KC-135 in AZ ANG and then SWA 👍🏽 also thanks for the amazing videos

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

You’re in a great spot! I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. Enjoy the journey my friend. And I hope to see you on a flight one day👍🏽

[@timj9350]

I don’t understand why they don’t have headrest for the front seats

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

They don’t want you too comfortable 😁. Just in case.

[@charleswesley3642]

Couldn't afford to feed that turbo. My little Experimental VW powered KR2 sipped gas and was a little fighter plane. I can't even contemplate that waste of money.

[@philipgledhill7227]

I lads nice to see you all. The piper 600 what a beautiful plane awesome. Are you off to oshkosh this next week.if you are hope you have a amazing time phil.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

It was awesome! Man I wish I could make it work out this year but unfortunately I can’t. I’ll be there next year for sure👍🏽

[@kevinkauffman248]

The M600’s are fun to fly for sure, we love ours and it puts a smile on our faces every time we start it and fly it!

[@Matt.Jernigan]

How difficult is it to get to the cockpit, since the door is at the end of the plane and the cabin is so short?

[@kevinkauffman248]

@@Matt.Jernigan haha good question, we had a M350 before the M600 so we are seasoned at the technique to get in the front lol. It’s kinda hard if you’re a bigger person, but yeah we have a technique down so we shimmy through the isle without knocking down the arm rests on the pilot and co-pilot seats

[@texasfan3345]

Loved the video. Keep them coming

[@dmoro6]

Great video but a little disappointing you didn't talk to Alex more about the 600 in detail, nothing about the flight back, purpose of the flight? You did say it was a demo, maybe just a "by chance" opportunity flight. Loved the start up sequence in the m600! Being groomed in an Aerostar (400 hrs tt), piper is my brand! I love both those airplanes. I hope piper kills it with that m600 sls. Keep the vids coming! David

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Didn’t want it too long so just hitting the highlights. Honestly reach out to Alex for more detailed information if you’re interested. He’s a great guy and full of information. Cheers!

[@davidm3440]

@@FlyingwithBigErn Here's my spin on that. Point missed. This is probably not necessary and over-kill but felt compelled to post it. Because this was a one-off and very cool opportunity, you missed out sharing much of that. Panel views, performance, flight statistics, especially on the return trip. It's not often we get to witness high-end aircraft like the ones you and Sam just experienced. That said, when I saw the runway appear in the window, it was like watching a bad ending to a great movie. You bring the professional sector of aviation to those enthusiast interested in making a career out of it. Your captain interviews and other content are rare, well done and very special to those looking for cool career. I speak from experience from a short career in corporate aviation earlier in my life. All I'm saying, do the same with vids like this one. Thanks for your enthusiasm, joys and willingness to provide the content we love to watch!

[@Razorback68]

Super Video!! No time in a C130 Ernie? Thanks for letting us ride along!!

[@XX-166]

The one thumbs down was the relief tube onboard the aircraft.

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

😁

[@danielhawley6817]

Interesting that Alex, in communication with controllers called it a "Meridian" when in fact it's a M600 - probably to reduce controller confusion?

[@N1120A]

Cause it says P46T on the data tag

[@sagobhago]

Love your videos. Let me know when you come to Chicago. I’ll take you around in my Arrow 😊

[@shirlzitting647]

Better yet, I'll let you take my Cessna 150 for a spin to Europe. Bring some paddles.

Great Video, Ernie! It looks like Piper is really bringing it to the the longer range luxury line. 👍

[@cippo1]

How noisy is the 350 inside?

[@gregoryconquest1359]

Does it have power windows

[@kylemccartney1831]

When the ground controller said your departure time is between 27 and 30, is that time of taxi or time past the hour?

[@Micg51]

Time past the hour, e.g. Wheels up time.

[@Matt.Jernigan]

Big Ern, what did your partner think about the 350 vs Cirrus?

[@mithunsultana]

M600 is more like TBM 930 than PC12

[@dhdaniel1]

Good Stuff Ernie, Love your videos, Maybe you can do a video on one of the Boneyards out west. You ever get to Houston Hobby?

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

I get through there from time to time. That’s a good idea!

Look at you Ern!!! Subzzzz!! Well done brother your channel rocks:) take care sir

[@tibundi]

Hi Ern, any chance to fly the PC-12?

[@CCitis]

Cool vid. Curious why the doc would wear an N95 still even fully vaccinated.

[@theippster8891]

Because he studied medicine and understands the risks are never zero despite vaccinations. He also, as a physician, likely comes into contact with people who have compromised immune systems and does not want to pass anything on to his patients if he is exposed and non symptomatic 🦠 C19 is not gone.

[@CCitis]

@@theippster8891 If you are fully vaccinated, and do not have co morbidities (maybe he does) It is time to get back to life. C19 will never be gone.

[@theippster8891]

@@CCitis Oh my goodness…he is a physician Jeremy. It is still possible for vaccinated people to become infected and pass the virus on to those with compromised immune systems, his patients. He is in a small enclosed space for an extended amount of time w 2 other people, taking recommended precautions as a physician (or anyone) has nothing to do w ‘getting back to life’.

[@T.D.111]

Hes probably a democrat...its a badge of honor to wear at least one mask....

@@T.D.111 Its unreal how many after being fully vaxxed STILL wear it as a signal.

Ern, what was the reason for the flight? Are you showcasing new aircraft or are you buying a new toy? 😁

We’re actually looking at a follow on plane for the future. So trying to get as educated as possible at the options out there. Cheers!

@@FlyingwithBigErn Awesome!! 👍

[@appamaddox8190]

300, 350, 500, 600; all depends on what you need to do. Love the hypoxia system. Calling it the "screaming match with the wife last night - fell asleep during flight" button would be too wordy.

[@stevenk6638]

Things that will help your future videos : 1 less face time, more aircraft time 2 audio levels - balanced better, Piper fellow was low 3 600 sls landing would have been much more interesting if cabin talk had not been drowned out by other aircraft audio ! Thats a beautiful turboprop !

[@ellsappelle9929]

Hi Big Ern, thanks for another great vid! Just a quick question about seniority… Just watched your charter vid where you said typically the senior top 10% of pilots get the charters. Are there any FOs that choose to stay as FOs to keep seniority in RHS and get the trips they want rather than go for command and become the least senior Captains? Or does it not work like that? Thanks again great channel 😎👍🏻

[@davidm3440]

No panel views or explanations during the trip? What's up with that? This plane is priced just over $3m. Nice goody package on board too! I'm sure better deals on used for sure! "Its good to dream" is what my father always told me!
