The exciting stories of the TBM aviator's community

TBM 940 SN 1337Massimo & Sylvia. Casini
TBM 940 SN 1337Massimo Casini is a newcomer to the Daher aviator community, having received a new TBM 940 (N940XX) in October. Since then, he’s gained significant attention within the ranks of TBM pilots for being based in the United Arab Emirates – a region not known for being general aviation-friendly. In reality, the situation is more nuanced...

TBM 900, S/N 1039I have used my TBM for a trout fishing trip in Tasmania (Australia) from Singapore – 2013, and each summer while the aircraft is based in the UK we take a “boys trip” for a few days salmon fishing in the Isle of Harris (Scotland) from Bournemouth (UK). For my wife and daughter who are keen golfers the TBM is also an ideal plane to travel to a golf resort, with the benefit of plenty of space for both passengers and the bulky golf bags.

TBM 940 S/N 1300"Based on the TBM’s proven design, the upgrades that Daher brings to each new model amply justified our purchases of the TBM 940, our fourth TBM aircraft,” explained Dr. Fries. “The TBM fits our transportation
profile: I can plan for a 1,000-nautical mile flight under almost any conditions. And it is a pleasure to work with many of the same people for years, which is a credit to Daher. Additionally, I consider the five-year warranty of significant value alone in justifying a new acquisition.”

TBM 910 S/N 1173As a public company CEO, I don’t have the time to fly every week, so I appreciate all the integration that reduces pilot workload. I also like that it’s built like a tank. Daher’s continued investment in the TBM line was really important to me as well – the airplane just keeps getting better and better. Daher is first rate, and I’m very impressed how well they support the product and owners. They continue to innovate and invest, and I’m impressed how collegial and friendly their relationship is with customers.

TBM 850 S/N 670My son Roman brought my attention to the TBM. What attracted me was the level of excellence that French aviation products are known for, the beauty of the design, and the fact that it was the fastest single-engine plane in existence. We began to think of how it could look and arrived at the notion that it could be all-polished aluminum with a black leather interior.

TBM 930, S/N 1158“I very much enjoyed my previous TBM 850 for its versatility and flexibility,” Mr. Charnvirakul explained. “When the time came to replace it after four years and some 900 flight hours, I chose the latest TBM model: the TBM 930. My ferry flight confirmed that I made the right decision: this is the TBM at its best in terms of performance, state-of-the-art avionics and the handling.” Shortly after the TBM 930 received its Certificate of Airworthiness from The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, Charnvirakul performed the maiden operational flight as a volunteer to deliver a heart transplant for the Thai Red Cross organization. An active pilot, Anutin Charnvirakul is a well-known personality in Thailand. He is a vice-Prime minister of Thailand and Minister of Public Health and Commerce, and is the current leader of the country’s Bhumjaithai Party.

TBM 910 S/N 1178Hannu Halminen
TBM 910 S/N 1178Hannu Halminen chose the TBM, initially a TBM 850 Elite succeeded in 2017 by a TBM 910, for the flexibility in business travel and to accommodate his special cargo – bicycles. Halminen is a cycling enthusiast, and he even biked to take delivery of his aircraft! He rode from the nearby French town of Tarbes to the Daher
production site at Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrenees Airport to pick up his aircraft for the ferry flight
back to his home in Orono, Canada. For Halminen, accommodating luggage and bikes is easy thanks to the TBMs excellent loading characteristics. All items can be stacked heaviest to lightest in the adjustable cargo area, topped with the bikes nestled in their soft-sided bicycle bags, and secured with the strong cargo net. Halminen has flown his TBM to biking events around the world – including transporting four bikes and their cyclists in the Very Fast Turboprop to attend a race in California, and flying to several “Etape du Tour”. It is a cycling race held every year riding on the same routes and under the same conditions as the professionals on one of the mountain stages of the Tour de France. A must-attend race for an avid biker.

TBM 900, S/N 1043Speed was the main reason that attracted me to the Daher TBM 900. I’ve always been the guy who wants to go faster. The incredible range and payload capabilities blew away most of the competitive aircraft available on the market, including new very light jets and turboprops.
The very fast turboprops
The TBM 910 and TBM 940 give owners and pilots the advantages of typical cruising speeds of light jets, with the economical operating costs of single-engine turboprops.
