Piper Aircraft new M700 FURY single-engine turboprop has been awarded type certification by Transport Canada Civil Aviation. The validation also includes Flight into Known Icing approval. The first M700 FURY delivery into Canada is scheduled for this quarter, with additional international deliveries this year into EASA, the U.K. and Brazil as those certifications are obtained.

John Calcagno, President & CEO of Piper Aircraft commented: “The first international certification of the M700 FURY with FIKI from TCCA is a crucial part of the overall value proposition of the M700 FURY, as well as a key safety feature for operators. This certification not only validates our commitment to safety and performance, but also opens new markets for this exceptional aircraft.”

As the fastest single-engine aircraft in Piper’s history, the M700 FURY boasts a maximum cruise speed of 301 ktas and a maximum range of 1,424 nautical miles. Powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engine, it combines exceptional performance with advanced safety features, including the certified FIKI system and HALO Safety System, featuring Garmin’s Emergency Autoland. This makes the M700 FURY an ideal solution for private owners and special missions that require speed, range, and the ability to operate in challenging weather conditions.

Having FIKI certification is particularly valuable in regions like Canada, where icing conditions are frequently encountered, enabling year-round operations and improved mission reliability. With the TCCA certification secured, Piper Aircraft is actively pursuing additional international validations, with deliveries to other global regions scheduled to begin later this year. This strategic expansion underscores Piper’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of pilots and operators worldwide.
