We lost another PA46 and couple the other day, possible stall/spin on approach. The other three were 1 departure and 2 approach. I had worked on this PA46 a couple years ago and the new owner was scheduled for his annual here at the end of may. The last owner of their Jetprop and long-time friend of mine, committed suicide about 2.5 years ago.
I don't know were the insurance companies are going to go with our bad and getting worse safety record of the PA46. I've been in aircraft service for 33 years, I have worked exclusively on the PA46 since 1984 and never seen anything so discouraging. Piper's parts problems don't help things either. I guess the price of GA flying is about to go up again.
Retirement is looking like an even better option these days. Then there's always tomorrow!
