VERO BEACH, Florida — Piper Aircraft has received Flight into Known Icing (FIKI) certification from the FAA for its new flagship aircraft, the M700 Fury.
The FIKI system, which comes standard on all M700 Fury aircraft, is an electromechanical expulsion deicing system located on the tail, as well as the leading edge of the wing, company officials explained.
International certifications for the M700 and FIKI are on track for deliveries to those regions beginning in the third quarter of 2024, Piper officials added.
FAA certified in March 2024, the M700 also comes standard with the HALO Safety System, featuring Garmin Emergency Autoland, which safely lands the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport in the event that the pilot is incapacitated. The M700 G3000 avionics suite also includes autothrottle, emergency descent mode, Electronic Stability Protection (ESP), SurfaceWatch, SafeTaxi, and Garmin PlaneSync.
Beyond the flight deck, the six-seat M700 is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 700 shp engine. The aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of 301 ktas, a max range of 1852 nautical miles, and a standard useful load of 2,320 pounds.
