Since we started our podcast a few months back, I’ve gotten lots of emails from people who are just starting to get knowledgable on the PA46 with questions they’d like addressed on a future episode. So Joe and I sat down to address the ones we get the most often. If you’re thinking about buying…
Thank you to everyone who reached out and gave positive feedback on the Casey Aviation Podcast! We’ve got a few episodes already recorded and a few more in the works. Here’s the newest installment… Episode #2 – Piston-to-Turbine Transition Interview with Dave and Jene By the time episode #3 is up, we’ll be live on…
What does it cost to own a PA46/P46T? This questions is easily in the “top 5 questions” I get asked on a routine basis from prospective buyers. My usual response is, “it depends on a bunch of factors”. While this is true, there are some familiar expenses that can be planned. I created…
I recently had the pleasure to working from “initial thought thru training” with Jason, a client that purchased an M600. When I say, “from thought”, I mean that he came to me seeking wisdom about making the right airplane purchase very early in his acquisition process. As his “Buyer Agent”, I was able to look…
See if this sounds familiar…you are a married man with a family that either loves to travel or has need of traveling, you’ve got a pilot license and 200+ hours of single-engine piston experience and an instrument rating, and you are dreaming of moving up to pressurization. You flew a Skyhawk/Cherokee for a while, moved…
I absolutely LOVE the JetProp and think it is one of the best airplane conversions. It makes a great airplane (PA-46 Malibu) even better. Here’s why: 1.) A Jetprop is just as easy to fly as a piston PA-46. In fact, it is arguably easier since there’s no mixture to deal with. If you…

If you’ve read my stuff on this website thus far, you know I’m a huge fan of the PA-46 airframe. So you’d think I’d be all about the new Matrix, right? Well…yes, and no…there’s lots to love, but there’s something big missing. First, the good. Here’s some good reasons to consider a Matrix: It’s…
My first entrance into the PA-46 world was with a 1989 Mirage. I developed a love affair with the airplane because I am motivated by efficiency and performance. I loved the fact that I could take off in Texas and land in Virginia in less than 4 hours in cabin-class comfort. So…should you consider a…
Ahhhh…the beloved Malibu…truly one of the finest breeds of airplanes in the world for GA cross-country flying. There really is no other airplane in its class to compare. With pressurized comfort in the flight levels, a cabin-class interior, solid icing capability, strong landing gear, a large panel to jam all the latest avionics, good cruise…
