Review
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.

Meridian – PA46-500TP
Review
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.
