About the Daher TBM 960

The Daher TBM 960 is the pinnacle of the TBM 900 series, representing a significant leap in digital integration and pilot utility. The primary upgrade is the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-66XT engine, which features a dual-channel digital Engine and Propeller Electronic Control System (EPECS). This allows for a ‘single-lever’ operation similar to a modern jet, where the computer optimizes engine and propeller pitch automatically from takeoff to landing.

Key Features for GA Buyers

  • Digital Powerplant: The EPECS system provides full FADEC-like protection, preventing hot starts and engine exceedances automatically.
  • HomeSafe™ Autoland: Equipped with Garmin’s emergency autoland system, which can take over and land the aircraft at a suitable airport if the pilot becomes incapacitated.
  • Cabin Comfort: Features an electronically dimmable window system and a pressurized cabin that provides a comfortable 6,400 ft cabin altitude at its 31,000 ft ceiling.
  • Speed and Efficiency: Cruising at 330 kts, it rivals light jets in speed while maintaining the lower operating costs and short-field versatility of a turboprop.

Trade-offs

  • Pilot Workload at High Speed: While the engine is simplified, the aircraft’s high speed in busy terminal environments requires sharp instrument skills.
  • Insurance & Training: Transitioning to a high-speed turbine requires significant initial and recurrent simulator-based training, which can be a hurdle for some owner-pilots.
