Piper Mirage-Matrix PA46 Low IFR Departure K24 10/26/20

Do you prefer the mirage over the cirrus?

[@jsh1257]

Matt I really do it is way more comfortable. It also is so very capable. Not saying the cirrus is not the PA46 just feels so much more robust to me.

@@jsh1257 One last question. I am in the very early stages of getting my ppl. I will need a plane for 4 adults and average mission is 330 nm. Would you recommend the ciruss 22, bonanza or something different, once I get my ppl? Gonna train in a 172.

@@Matt.Jernigan All depends on what generation of Cirrus we are talking. I have had both Cirrus and A36 so there both Great birds. But for example if I was spending $300k I would get a older A36 with newer Avionic. I would prefer that over a older Cirrus. If I was spending $500k I would get a G1000 Cirrus with TKS FIKI system. Not as many TKS on A36 there are some but not as easily found as on a Cirrus. I fly year round usually always in some form of weather so Anti ice for me is 10 months out of the year in the Great Lakes area. I would look at the PA32 Saratoga TC as well it’s a great hauler and just as fast as a NA cirrus at 8k actually mine was a tad faster than my cirrus.
