The fuselage of the Meridian is an all metal, semi-monocoque structure with flush riveted skin for reduced drag and corrosion resistance.

The Meridian fuselage has 3 major sections; the nose containing NLG assembly and engine compartment, the cabin section containing the flight deck , passenger and baggage areas and the aft section containing the empennage components and an equipment bay.

The pilot’s windshield is made of glass and should be cleaned only with mild soap and with a bare hand. The (DOOR AJAR) annunciator is activated by upper and lower microswitches located in the door frame. The emergency exit is located on the right side of the fuselage behind the copilot.

Note: for limitations associated with your aircraft, refer to your aircraft Pilot Operating Handbook.

The Meridian limitations cover a wide range of things and these need to be considered whenever you are planning your operation. They include:


23

PA46 Normal Procedures

Preflight Engine Start Before Take-off Take-off and Climb Cruise Descent Terminal Area Approach Approach to Land After Landing, Arrival & Securing

Your Meridian POH contain normal procedures in both checklist and expanded formats. Use of the checklist is essential to safe operations.

PA46 Weight & Balance

Procedures and principles are identical to all weight & balance exercises. This

can be accomplished using the charts, using a properly configured spreadsheet

or simply using the form, the tables and a calculator. During the flight portion of

the training, this will be covered in some detail.
