VERO BEACH, Fla. – March. 16, 2016 –Piper Aircraft, Inc. has chosen Legacy Flight Training as the official training provider for the M600 aircraft.

Under the new agreement, Legacy will provide pilot and maintenance training for the Piper M600, the newest member of the M-Class family, which product was publicly announced in May of 2015.

“The selection process was highly competitive and Legacy’s customer-focused approach, technological leadership and factory located training center are what set them apart. We will be ready for customers with a complete training program, including the deployment of a full motion flight training device, to support entry-into-service of the M600 later this year,” said Drew McEwen, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Piper Aircraft.

The pinnacle of the esteemed M-Class line, the M600 is named for the 600 shaft horsepower for which it is capable. With all new Garmin G3000 touchscreen panels in an evolved configuration, as well the addition of several advanced safety features in the cockpit, the M600 warrants a standard of training all its own.
