About the Daher TBM 900

The Daher TBM 900 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop that redefined what owner-flown business aircraft could achieve when it entered service in 2014. Built by French manufacturer Daher (formerly SOCATA), the TBM 900 series represents the pinnacle of single-engine turboprop design, combining a 850-shaft-horsepower Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D engine with advanced aerodynamics to deliver cruise speeds exceeding 320 knots, faster than many light jets, while maintaining the efficiency and operating economics of a turboprop. The aircraft can climb directly to Flight Level 310 and has a maximum certified altitude of 31,000 feet, making it one of the highest-performing single-engine aircraft in production.

What sets the TBM 900 apart is its remarkable speed-to-efficiency ratio. It cruises at approximately 330 knots true airspeed while burning roughly 57 gallons per hour, giving it a range of nearly 1,730 nautical miles with reserves. The cockpit features a Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck with synthetic vision, autothrottle, and advanced weather radar, bringing jet-like avionics to the single-engine turboprop category. The pressurized cabin seats up to six passengers in club configuration, with a differential of 6.2 psi allowing comfortable high-altitude operations. Subsequent variants (the 910, 930, 940, and 960) have introduced incremental improvements in avionics, automation, and performance, with the 960 achieving a maximum cruise speed of 345 knots.

The TBM 900 series has become the aircraft of choice for owner-pilots seeking maximum performance without the complexity and cost of twin-engine or jet operations. Its combination of speed, range, and single-pilot certification has made it popular among business owners, medical transport operators, and high-time pilots stepping up from piston twins. The type's reputation for reliability and Daher's strong support network have contributed to strong resale values and a loyal owner community. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
