  • 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.

Mythbusting PA-46 Maintenance: What Owners Really Need to Know
Q: How do service bulletins and airworthiness directives affect a typical PA-46 owner?
The guest describes how service bulletins can be mandatory when tied to ADs or operating under certain programs; many items start as 'recommended' or 'optional' but can become mandatory depending on certification type (e.g., 135 operations) or STCs, which drives up maintenance frequency and cost.
Mythbusting PA-46 Maintenance: What Owners Really Need to Know
Q: What has the maintenance landscape been like for the PA-46 recently?
Kenneth Hale explains that while things aren't dramatically changing, parts availability has improved from pandemic lows, batteries remain a constraint due to limited production and long lead times, and the maintenance philosophy hinges on balancing manufacturer directives with practical ownership realities.
PA-46 Q&A: Fuel Sumping, Power Limits, Props, and Buyer Advice
Q: Ray's question about water in fuel and sump practices for M600 and turbine engines, and whether Prist is always needed.
Water in turbine fuel is present but not as hazardous as water in avgas; sump practices differ for turbine engines, and Prist is recommended to defend against icing, but not all operators use it uniformly. Ensure fuel caps seal, sump near maintenance, and follow Prist guidance for long flights or high altitude legs.
PA-46 Q&A: Fuel Sumping, Power Limits, Props, and Buyer Advice
Q: How should pilots use torque, ITT, and NG limits when setting power, and why does the POH often misguide turbine operators?
Torque and temperature limits drive power setting; ITT becomes the limiting factor at altitude and temperature, and some aircraft may become NG or airspeed limited. The POH is not always reliable, so pilots should trust gauge limits and trend monitors while following manufacturer guidance.
PA-46 Q&A: Fuel Sumping, Power Limits, Props, and Buyer Advice
Q: Dave asked about the JetPROP outboard tanks and the implications of filling to the bottom of the tabs versus the tops, and what happens if start-up is delayed.
Filling to the bottom of the tabs helps accommodate fuel expansion in sunlit conditions; you can fill beyond, but if you delay start-up, fuel will vent and you risk leaking; overall, you should avoid overfilling and plan a timely takeoff to prevent fuel loss.
