Daher brings the TBM 910 to EBACE 2017 and highlights charter uses of its growing very fast turboprop aircraft family

“The European Union’s regulatory approval in March for Commercial Air Transport operations with single-engine turboprop in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and at night is a tremendous opportunity for the business aviation community to address a larger base of customers,” Chabbert explained during a press conference.

“Business travelers in Europe who require solutions for fast transportation now can find them with our TBM very fast turboprop family, answering their expectations for high-quality service, time savings and safety. In addition, the TBM will enable them to access to more destinations while recent cabin upgrades enable them to stay connected during flight,“ he added.

The TBM 910 and the TBM 930 benefit from the same range, performance and technical features that have contributed to the cornerstone TBM 900 version’s success in Daher’s six-passenger pressurized single-engine turboprop aircraft product line.

Primary differences with the TBM 910 from the original TBM 900 are:

– The TBM 910’s new Garmin G1000 NXi all-glass integrated flight deck, which replaces the predecessor G1000 configuration;
– Cabin interior enhancements with new seat shapes and additional fittings, which are identical to the high-end TBM 930 version.

The Garmin G1000 NXi combines high-resolution display design with state-of-the-art processors. These improvements provide a faster boot-up and software loading, while enabling the system to manage more aviation data and maps (such as visual approach plates).

Other advantages are the enhanced situational awareness and improved cockpit connectivity that allow wireless transfer of aviation databases from the Garmin Pilot app on a mobile device to the G1000 NXi system. Additionally, an enriched “feel” with the flight deck’s new keyboard joystick gives more accurate panning and fluid navigation on the multi-function display pages.

About the Daher TBM – www.tbm.aero

The TBM 910 and TBM 930 are the latest members in Daher’s TBM family of very fast single engine turboprop aircraft. Differences between the two models are concentrated on their primary avionics: Garmin’s G1000 NXi avionics system with physical keypad for the TBM 910; Garmin’s G3000 with touchscreen controller for the TBM 930.

Both aircraft offer superior performance – such as a maximum cruise speed of 330 kts. – and high efficiency with a 1,730-naut. mi. maximum range and a fuel consumption at economy cruise of 37 U.S. gallons per hour. This results from aerodynamic improvements, along with other aircraft enhancements. The maximum range and useful load, as well as the ability to land at small airports, are some of the customers’ favorite features.

The TBM 900, TBM 910 and TBM 930 already have received more than 200 orders since their launches, with 170 delivered through May 15, 2017. The TBM 910 and TBM 930 are built by Daher on its industrial site at the airport of Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées (Hautes Pyrénées), France.

Overall, a total of 832 TBM aircraft (TBM 700, TBM 850, TBM 900, TBM 910 and TBM 930 versions) have been delivered to international owners and operators, with the global fleet accumulating some 1.4 million flight hours.
