The Piper M500 is equipped with a well-thought-out cabin with ample features for passengers to have easy access to. The cabin is full of essential utility features, whether it is the baggage compartment, power outlets, or work tables. The cabin space is ideal for business or personal work, providing various user-friendly attributes.
According to Hanger One Technics and Avionics,
"With adjustable backrests and the ability to fold down, even more cabin space can be created for your passengers or luggage. Passengers have easy access to the interior baggage compartment and amenities such as the two 110-volt outlets. Situated around the cabin, you can also find standard individual cup holders, reading lights, air vents, and built-in work table. LED accent strip lighting fills the cabin in warm light."

The Piper M500 Meridian features one of the finest interiors in its class, enabling ultimate comfort and flexibility for customers. While this level of luxury may be common on larger jets, it is somewhat uncommon for a small six-seat turboprop aircraft.
The manufacturer offers a range of customization options for aircraft interior colors and exterior paint. According to Piper,
"With the finest interior in its class, the M500 boasts premium leather, carpet and wood/metal trim. Passengers' comfort features include USB charging ports, lighting controls, beverage holders, work table, and seat controls for each passenger."

The Piper Meridian M500 is equipped with a state-of-the-art avionics suite that enables flight safety through a number of protective parameters and systems. Moreover, synthetic vision technology associated with Garmin’s G1000 suite increases pilots' situational awareness and minimizes flight-related incidents.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) states that Piper M500’s systems protect against rapid and unwanted changes to critical flight parameters. The automated systems onboard monitor and stabilize unwanted occurrences.
Electronic Stability Protection (ESP)
Ensuring safety and stability during hand-flying
Wingspan: 43 ft (13.2 m)
Height: 11.3 ft (3.4 m)
Length: 29.7 ft (9.1 m)
The Piper M500 Meridian's ESP system ensures the aircraft remains safe within the flight envelope by correcting undesired pitch or roll control deviations.
According to Piper,
"The ESP system functions independently of the GFC 700 autopilot and applies control force toward stable flight whenever pitch or roll deviations exceed recommended limits or when overspeed or underspeed conditions are about to occur. ESP will also automatically activate the GFC700 autopilot if engaged for too long."
