  • Just the info I was looking for on the PA-46 Malibu

    Such a great show for those looking at the PA-46 as an option. There is so much to consider when considering whether the upgrade to one of the variants is in order and Joe’s show really goes through all the questions I have had so far. Would definitely recommend!

  • Joe Casey is very informative

    I have now listened to all of Joe’s podcasts (they keep coming though!). Several I’ve listened to more than once … intentionally! He has a smooth and positive style that makes you feel like you know him. He seems candid with his thoughts and is clearly very knowledgeable about his topics.

    I am a Cirrus owner who would like to jump to the PA46 one day soon. Listening to Joe’s podcasts has helped me to understand the process and learn much more about the steps to accomplish my goals.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PA-46 & TBM Accident Analysis: What the Data Reveals | Part 2
Q: What role do training and trainers play in reducing accidents according to your data?
Training and trainers are crucial because skill and judgment are the two biggest factors in accidents. Improving trainer quality, ensuring data-driven curriculum, and standardizing instructor proficiency through programs like PMOPA and Master A-Variator can help reduce gaps in pilot competence and prevent drift in technique.
PA-46 & TBM Accident Analysis: What the Data Reveals | Part 2
Q: Why do you think stall spins are higher in turbine PA46s versus piston PA46s?
The higher stall-spin percentage in turbine PA46s is largely due to greater torque and power under the hood, which increases the likelihood of a stall coupled with yaw. The data also reflect that the TBM's wing geometry and prop clearance contribute to different risk profiles, but overall torque and power dynamics are a key driver.
PA-46 & TBM Accident Analysis: What the Data Reveals | Part 2
Q: Give us a little more on how you developed the methodology and where it came from.
The methodology began as a personal process I used on my own aircraft experiences, then expanded through prior work with experimental aircraft and a broader effort with the EAA Homebuilt Council. It was refined to separate ultimate results from contributing factors, aimed at making the analysis actionable for pilots to improve safety.
Your PA-46 Questions Answered + Meet Baylee Ross
Q: What is the current thinking on unleaded 100UL fuel for PA46s and required STCs?
Using 100UL requires an approved STC; the community is watching developments, with some people already funding STCs to support the transition, though availability and regulatory acceptance remain evolving.
Your PA-46 Questions Answered + Meet Baylee Ross
Q: How should a prospective buyer weigh Meridian vs TBM-900 in terms of value and operating costs?
TBM-900 offers higher performance and capacity but costs more to buy and operate; Meridian provides strong capability at lower operating costs and similar turbine benefits, making it a more budget-conscious choice for most buyers.
