1999 Piper Malibu Mirage, N219D — and if you're cross-shopping Mirages right now, this is the one to call. Why? Engine and prop time. N219D has only 220 hours SMOH on its Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A and just 338 hours SMOH on the 3-blade Hartzell composite prop (governor overhauled at the same time, 11​/​2023). Most Mirages on the market today are sitting at 1,000+ hours since overhaul. A few more things that set this one apart: ✅ Serviced by the same Piper Service Center for over 90% of its life ✅ Last annual completed January 2026 ✅ All logs complete, every AD and SB complied with ✅ 4,400 TTAF ✅ Pressurized, FIKI known ice protection ✅ Garmin GTX345 ADS-B, GNS-530W, Bendix​/​King KFC 225 autopilot, EDM900 ✅ Pilot side window and A​/​C compressor both replaced Feb 2026 ✅ Useful load: 1,262lbs Cruise up to 220 KTAS at FL250, range ~1,450 NM, climb above the weather in a pressurized cabin with room for the whole family. Full spec sheet, logbooks, and additional photos​/​video available.

Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Piper PA-46-350P Malibu Mirage is a pressurized, single-engine retractable-gear aircraft produced by Piper Aircraft Corporation in Vero Beach, Florida, from 1989 through 2008. The definitive piston-powered variant of the PA-46 family — and the most capable pressurized piston single ever certified by the FAA in terms of payload, range, and cabin comfort — the Mirage succeeded the original Malibu in 1989 with a substantially more powerful Lycoming TIO-540 engine that addressed the power and reliability concerns associated with the earlier Continental TSIO-520 installation. The 1999 model year represents a fully mature Mirage with the complete suite of production refinements and the well-developed TIO-540 engine specification that defines the type's operational reputation. Power is provided by a Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A turbocharged, intercooled, and fuel-injected horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine producing 350 horsepower at 2,500 RPM, driving a three-blade Hartzell composite constant-speed propeller. The TIO-540's fuel injection eliminates carb ice as an operational concern, the intercooled induction system reduces charge temperature for improved altitude efficiency, and the 350 HP output sustains the Mirage's cruise speed at the flight levels where it is most productive. Fuel burn at high-speed cruise is approximately 18 to 20 USG per hour, moderating to 14 to 16 USG at long-range cruise settings. Lycoming TIO-540 support and overhaul capability are available through the certified maintenance network, though the intercooler and turbocharger components require specific maintenance attention that not all general A&P shops are equipped to provide. The PA-46-350P airframe is an all-metal, low-wing, pressurized design with hydraulically-actuated retractable tricycle gear and the clean aerodynamic lines that Piper refined across the Malibu and Mirage production runs. The pressurization system maintains a 5.5 psi differential — delivering a sea-level cabin altitude at approximately 12,500 feet and a highly comfortable 8,000-foot cabin altitude when cruising at the Mirage's published service ceiling of FL250. This pressurization capability is the Mirage's most significant operational attribute relative to the unpressurized high-performance piston single market, enabling flight above weather systems, avoidance of icing layers, and the physiological comfort that meaningfully reduces pilot fatigue on cross-country IFR missions. The retractable gear, composite propeller, and clean airframe work together to produce cruise speeds that approach the Meridian turboprop at a fraction of the fuel burn. The six-seat pressurized cabin is the PA-46's most celebrated attribute — considerably more spacious than any competing pressurized piston single of the era, with genuine stand-up capability near the forward entry door and a cabin width and headroom that comfortably accommodate four passengers on transcontinental legs. The airstair entry door on the left forward fuselage allows graceful boarding at any FBO without ground support equipment, and the large cabin windows provide outstanding light and visibility for passengers. The 1999 Mirage cabin specification typically includes leather seating, dual club arrangement for four passengers, full climate control, and the avionics suite that Piper continued to refine through the late 1990s production years. Many airframes have received avionics upgrades including Garmin GNS 430​/​530, modern autopilot installations, and ADS-B Out compliance. The Piper Malibu Mirage Association (PMMA) is one of the most active and well-organized single-type owner associations in general aviation — providing type-specific maintenance guidance, recommended shop lists, engine management training resources, and a community of experienced Mirage owners and operators that significantly reduces the risk of uninformed ownership. Annual membership in the PMMA and engagement with its resources is considered essential by virtually every experienced Mirage owner and should be considered a standard operating cost for any buyer new to the type. In the current used market the 1999 Piper Malibu Mirage occupies the premier tier of pressurized piston single ownership — priced above the earlier Malibu and mid-production Mirages, and below only the Meridian turboprop in the PA-46 family. The type commands strong and consistent buyer demand from owner-pilots transitioning from unpressurized singles who seek cabin-class comfort, flight-level capability, and the range to make serious IFR cross-country missions efficient and comfortable. TIO-540 engine times, turbocharger and intercooler condition, pressurization seal integrity, and avionics currency are the primary pre-purchase evaluation priorities. A formal Mirage-specific pre-purchase inspection by a PMMA-recommended shop is the industry standard and should be considered non-negotiable on any PA-46-350P acquisition.
