Why fly TBM?

The latest TBM benefits from everything that DAHER-SOCATA has learned from the previous versions of the TBM family. The TBM 960 offers even greater speed, range and efficiency than previous TBMs. It has also improved short field capabilities and, as a result, can be used on just about all general aviation runways. Approaching at only 90 KIAS or less, short runways or short unpaved surfaces will accommodate the TBM 960. The new 5-blade Hartzell propeller reduces noise and improves take off performance. The availability of thrust reversal on the TBM 940 substantially improves safety margins over aircraft without these capabilities when flying into shorter fields, (particularly when the surface is wet) allowing landing on extremely short strips and runways safely using less than 2,430 ft. This is very different than the case of most light jets limited by their “hot and high” runway performance. In other words, a runway available to the TBM is simply not available to others or it will require them substantial reductions of cabin and fuel load.

330 kts, the maximum cruise speed of the new TBM 960 making it the world's fastest certified, pressurized single-engined turboprop.

The TBM simply gets you there faster easily and re-imagines the world’s fastest certified single engine turboprop.
