HomeSafe\u2122 <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The system is activated manually by an easily recognizable\norange button atop the cockpit instrument panel. Its software integrates\nweather, traffic and terrain information to select the best airport for\nlanding, taking into account fuel range and runway length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HomeSafe\u2122 is based on Garmin\u2019s Emergency Autoland system \u2013\navailable as a part of the G3000 integrated flight deck \u2013 and has been under\ndevelopment for the TBM since 2017 by the Avionics Engineering Office at\nDaher\u2019s Aircraft Division. This work included Big Data analyses and the testing\nof 20 HomeSafe\u2122 system versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daher has submitted HomeSafe\u2122 to European and U.S. aviation\nauthorities for a certification expected this spring, enabling first deliveries\nof the autoland system in its top-of-the-line very fast turboprop version in\nJune. The system also will be available for retrofit on earlierproduction TBM\n940 aircraft at an introductory price of $85,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe TBM 940 redefines safety and reliability in its\ncategory and continues Daher\u2019s pragmatic introduction of cockpit automation for\nlower pilot workload and enhanced situational awareness,\u201d said Nicolas\nChabbert, the Senior Vice President of Daher\u2019s Aircraft Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis latest step extends our innovation into a feature that\nspecifically addresses operational safety from passenger point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unveiling Technical Details of HomeSafe\u2122-Equipped TBM 940, Model Year 2020 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When HomeSafe\u2122 is activated, occupants of the aircraft are\nbriefed by a safety video on the cockpit\u2019s multifunction display. Air traffic\ncontrol is informed of the situation by an automated message, and the\ntransponder automatically is set to the emergency squawk code. The system provides\ninputs to the aircraft\u2019s flight controls and adjusts engine power settings\nthrough the touchdown phase. It will activate the brakes on roll-out and shut\ndown the engine after a full stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pilot can override the autoland function at any time to\nresume normal flight conditions by simply disconnecting the autopilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HomeSafe\u2122 operates with systems and functionality already integrated\non the TBM 940, such as the autopilot and autothrottle, as well as functions of\nDaher\u2019s TBM e-Copilot\u00ae: Enhanced Stability and Protection (ESP), Emergency\nDescent Mode (EDM) and automated de-icing detection. Also utilized is traffic\ndata (ADS-B, FIS-B), weather information (XM weather, Garmin Connext, etc.) and\ninputs from the radar altimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional equipment incorporated on the TBM 940 for system\nfunctionality with HomeSafe\u2122 includes electrical relays to enable automatic\nactivation of the flaps, landing gear and landing lights. An emergency\nautomatic braking system \u2013 activated by a Garmin servo control \u2013 complements\nthe standard braking system, with an additional hydraulic fluid tank. A fuel\nshutoff valve also has been added to stop the engine by cutting off the fuel\nsupply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this revolution in safety, the TBM 940\u2019s\nModel Year 2020 version is equipped with the Garmin GWX 75 doppler weather\nradar, which enhances pilot awareness through a high-definition color palette,\nan extended coverage range out to 320 nautical miles, a 120\u00c2\u00b0 horizontal scan\nangle, along with optional turbulence detection and ground clutter suppression modules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Daher has unveiled technical details for its TBM 940 turboprop aircraft in the Model Year 2020 version, which is equipped with HomeSafe\u2122 \u2013 an emergency system that automatically brings the airplane to a runway touchdown if the pilot becomes incapacitated.
