Daher has announced that its new TBM 940 has been certified\nby the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), enabling deliveries to\nbegin with this latest turboprop aircraft version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EASA\u2019s certification paperwork will be formally provided\nduring the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) at\nGeneva, Switzerland, where Daher will be exhibiting at the May 21-23 event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TBM 940\u2019s airworthiness authority approval comes two\nmonths after the aircraft\u2019s launch in March, with 25 orders already booked for\nthe version. Initial deliveries will be to customers in Europe and Asia,\nfollowed by North America and other markets after subsequent certification by\nthe U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are grateful to the EASA for the quick certification\nprocess following the hard work of our teams. The European authorities consider\nit a priority to make major safety items available to the pilot,\u201d commented Nicolas\nChabbert, Senior Vice President of the Daher Airplane Business Unit. \u201cWe are\nproud to have developed an aircraft that combines power, safety and comfort \u2013\nbuilding on Daher innovation for continual improvement to the TBM very fast\nturboprop aircraft family. The TBM 940\u2019s positive feedback from customers\nunderscores that we\u2019re on the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Daher\u2019s top-of-the-line TBM version, key TBM 940 features\nare the integration of an automated throttle and an automated icing detection\nsystem \u2013 both of which are installed for the first time on a standard\nproduction turboprop aircraft weighing less than 12,500 lbs. (5.7 metric tons).\nThe cabin also incorporates further enhancements to style, ergonomic and\ncomfort elements in the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The automated icing detection system and cabin enhancements\nare shared with Daher\u2019s Model Year 2019 version of the entry-level TBM 910,\nwith whose cockpit benefits from the latest functionality with Garmin\u2019s flight\ndeck. They are: Surface Watch\u2122, which helps the pilot maintain enhanced\nsituational awareness in the airport environment; Baro VNAV, allowing\napproaches with vertical guidance when Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)\nnavigation is not available; and visual approach assistance for the TBM pilot\nin performing visual approaches on non-controlled airports with vertical\nguidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this week\u2019s EBACE event at Geneva, Daher also is\nhighlighting its TBM Care concept, which brings additional enhancements to the\nTBM ownership and operating experience. This is underscored by Daher\u2019s latest\nversion of its \u201cMe & My TBM\u201d cloud-based application, which enables pilots\nand operators to share their flight plan and performance directly through\ndifferent media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The application\u2019s ergonomics and features are enhanced with\nthe introduction of analysis modes allowing flight and time optimization, along\nwith the aircraft\u2019s landing approach, as well as new average block speed\ncalculation and monitoring. With its highly accurate graphics, feedback is\nprovided during every phase of a TBM\u2019s flight, from key parameters of the\nengine and other systems to a full range of statistics accessible wherever the\naircraft goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TBM owners and operators can check the identity card of\ntheir TBM in the app\u2019s new \u201cMy TBM details\u201d section. Utilizing an enhanced\nbanner for the CAMP tracking tool, scheduling for the next maintenance visit is\nnow highlighted directly on the app\u2019s home page in terms of days or flight\nhours. Daher\u2019s TBM Care team also can be contacted through the app to answer\nquestions whenever needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At EBACE, Daher experts will be on hand to provide\nadditional information on the latest TBM family members and answer other\nquestions about owning and operating the very fast turboprop aircraft.
