The Piper Matrix
STRUCTURES, PIPER PROVIDED INSPECTION CRITERIA MAY NOT BE VALID FOR AIRPLANES WITH NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS. ISSUED: FEBRUARY 23, 1999 REPORT: VB-1710 REVISED: OCTOBER 14, 2002 iii PA-46-350P, MALIBU APPLICABILITY Application of this handbook is limited to the specific Piper PA-46-350P. Now, only three are in regular production: the two Piper PA-46s (Malibu Mirage and Matrix) and the Bonanza G36. A big-engine fixed-gear, the Cirrus SR-22, outsells the retractables by a huge margin and I guess it does so because it offers about the same performance without the complexity of folding wheels.
