The predecessor to the TBM 900, but still blindingly fast for a turboprop. Owner-flown, pressurized, and capable of flying above the weather. The sports car of propeller aircraft.
Fun fact
Daher-Socata has been building aircraft in Tarbes, France since 1911, making them one of the oldest aerospace companies.
How to spot one
Virtually identical to TBM 960. Low wing, retractable gear, single PT6A. The fast turboprop.
Crews call it
The TBM
Sounds like
PT6A whistle — the sound of high-performance single-engine turboprop travel
