2009 Piper Malibu MatrixSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 2009 Piper Malibu Matrix (ZS-SHU) presents as a well-equipped, mid-time airframe with 900 hours total time, featuring matching engine and propeller times (900 hours SNEW) on its turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A 350 HP powerplant. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive avionics upgrade with the Avidyne Entegra Release 9 suite, including dual IFD-5000 WAAS GPS units, synthetic vision technology, tactical weather detection, and an S-TEC 55X autopilot with altitude preselect. The panel's modern capabilities are complemented by a 2023 exterior repaint in white/metallic blue and refurbished leather-wrapped yokes.

The Matrix retains its original six-seat executive interior with beige leather seating and features practical upgrades like JetShades for thermal control, an oxygen system, and air conditioning. Recent maintenance includes an annual MPI completed in August 2024, with 1,100 hours remaining until engine overhaul. Performance highlights include a 1,300 NM range and speed brakes, while the Malibu M1 cooling mod enhances operational reliability. The aircraft's current inspection status and recent avionics/airframe updates position it as a turnkey pressurized single with advanced IFR capabilities.
