Piper PA46 Malibu Meridian ZK-THG

The Piper PA46-500TP Malibu Meridian is a Pratt & Whitney PT6A turbo prop version of the piston engine powered PA-46-350P Malibu / Malibu Mirage

 C/n 4697215 was listed to Piper Aircraft Inc of Vero Beach, Florida on August 12, 2005 as N31146 N31145. This was transferred to Osadzinski Management LLC of Atherton, California on September 15. 2005 and then hidden in the book of Wells Fargo Bank Northwest Trustee at Salt Lake City, Utah from April 30, 2009.

Cancelled from the US register on September 16, 2013 it appeared on the German civil register on November 27, 2013 as D-FHEI with IFR Instrumenten Flugschule Reichelsheim, Augsburg.

Next I know is that it ferried from Honiara to Noumea on November 9, 2021 and from Norfolk Island to Auckland the following day.

It was registered as ZK-THG on December 6 2021 to HG Group Ltd of Masterton.

We have had two other PA-46-500TP's on our register.
ZK-UTEwhich is still current  and ZK-OLY which went to Australia in May of 2013.

Of the piston engined PA-46-310P's we have ZK-MBU, ZK-MPG and the US registered N9099Z.

  4. Thanks WBC2window.
    I do have N31145 on my records - just a transposition error on my part and poor proof reading.
    Cheers
