2012 PIPER MATRIX Overview

The 2012 Piper Matrix (PA-46R-350T) is a luxurious six-seat, cabin-class piston aircraft designed to deliver outstanding performance, comfort, and value. Powered by a turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A engine producing 350 horsepower, the Piper Matrix cruises at speeds of up to 215 knots with a maximum range of approximately 1,343 nautical miles, making it ideal for regional travel across Africa. With a useful load of over 1,400 lbs, the Matrix offers more payload capacity than many competitors, while its spacious cabin, club-style seating, and convenient airstair door provide passengers with unmatched comfort and accessibility. Equipped with advanced Garmin G1000 avionics, GFC-700 autopilot, built-in oxygen system, optional de-ice features, and modern amenities such as air conditioning, Bose headsets, and LED lighting, the 2012 Piper Matrix is both pilot- and passenger-friendly. Unlike pressurized alternatives, its simplified design reduces maintenance costs without compromising performance, making it a cost-effective solution for private owners, charter operators, and corporate travel across Africa. With its blend of speed, efficiency, and cabin-class luxury, the 2012 Piper Matrix stands out as one of the best piston aircraft choices for demanding African missions and executive travel.
