TBM 900

Daher introduced the TBM 900 in 2014 as an aerodynamic refinement of the TBM 850, not a new design. Winglets, a five-blade Hartzell propeller, and a 330-knot cruise speed define this generation.

The TBM 900 publishes two different range figures depending on cruise setting. At long-range cruise, it reaches 1,730 nautical miles with standard reserves. At maximum cruise speed, range drops to about 1,440 nautical miles.

This is not a range trap; it is a genuine trade-off pilots choose in flight. A faster cruise burns more fuel per mile, shortening usable range on that specific leg.

The TBM 900's speed gain comes from drag reduction, not more power. Winglets, first used on this TBM generation, reduce wingtip vortex drag. A five-blade propeller improves efficiency over the 850's four-blade design.

Combined with a redesigned cowling and exhaust stacks, these changes add up fast. The result is roughly 10 extra knots of cruise speed. Fuel burn stays close to the 850's.

A turboprop trades cabin size for a lower hourly rate. The TBM 900 narrows the speed gap further than most. At $1,500 to $2,200 per hour, it still costs well below a light jet such as the Citation CJ3.

• Lower cost: $1,500 to $2,200 per hour versus $2,500 to $3,500 for a light jet.
• Closer cruise speed: 330 knots versus 480 knots or faster for a light jet, a narrow gap here.
• Fewer seats: up to 5 passengers versus 5 to 9 for most light jets.
• Best mission: fast regional trips for 2 to 4 passengers wanting the newest available single-engine speed.

The TBM 900 seats up to five passengers, typically a four-seat club section and a fifth seat available in the cockpit with a single pilot operation.

• Improved soundproofing and vibration isolation make the cabin noticeably quieter than the TBM 850.
• Individual reading lights, personal air vents, and a folding executive table are standard.
• Baggage stores in a rear internal compartment, with additional external storage on many aircraft.
• There is no flight attendant on this aircraft category; confirm service expectations at booking.

The TBM 900 performs best on fast regional routes. Its cruise speed narrows the gap with a light jet while keeping the hourly rate well below one.

Daher TBM 900 charter rates run $1,500 to $2,200 per flight hour. That's a premium over the TBM 850 given the speed gain. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand. Contact Hogani Jets at charter@hoganijets.com  or +1-855-660-0573 for a current quote.

The $1,500 to $2,200 hourly rate covers core operational costs. Additional fees are quoted separately on every trip.

• Aircraft operation: fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate.
• Pilot: the TBM 900 is certified for single-pilot operation; some operators fly it with two.
• Federal excise tax and segment fees: federally mandated, quoted separately.
• Positioning costs: charged if the aircraft must reposition to your departure airport.
• International handling fees: apply on Caribbean, Canada, and other international hops.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the TBM 850, its direct predecessor, and the Pilatus PC-12 NGX. The PC-12 NGX is a larger single-engine turboprop. The 900 wins on speed; the PC-12 NGX wins on cabin room.

Every TBM 900 charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking.

The TBM 900 is certified for single-pilot operation and carries Garmin G1000 avionics with synthetic vision and terrain awareness. Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft. 

Every charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier under that carrier's independent operational control.

The TBM 900 is a strong fit on fast regional legs. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most relevant charter corridors.

How much does it cost to charter a Daher TBM 900?

Daher TBM 900 charter rates run $1,500 to $2,200 per flight hour. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $6,000 for short regional hops to $12,500 or more on longer legs. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

What is the real range of a TBM 900?

The TBM 900 reaches 1,730 nautical miles at long-range cruise with standard reserves. At maximum cruise speed, range drops to about 1,440 nautical miles. This is a genuine trade-off, not a published-range overstatement.

What is the difference between the TBM 850 and the TBM 900?

The 900 keeps the 850's airframe and PT6A-66D engine. It adds winglets, a five-blade propeller, and aerodynamic refinements. Together these add roughly 10 knots of cruise speed at similar fuel burn.

How many passengers can the Daher TBM 900 carry?

The TBM 900 seats up to five passengers, typically a four-seat club section and one seat available in the cockpit with a single pilot configuration.

How fast does the Daher TBM 900 fly?

The TBM 900 cruises at up to 330 knots true airspeed (380 mph). That's about 10 knots faster than the TBM 850 it replaced.

Is a single-engine turboprop safe to charter?

Single-engine turboprops like the TBM 900 operate under the same Part 135 oversight as any charter aircraft. The PT6A engine family has one of the strongest reliability records in aviation. The trade-off against a twin-engine aircraft is redundancy in the event of an engine issue.

Are empty leg flights available on the Daher TBM 900?

Yes. The TBM 900's frequent regional positioning creates empty-leg opportunities at meaningful savings off standard one-way rates. Availability is short-notice and date-fixed, so Hogani Jets recommends flexibility when chasing empty-leg pricing.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All TBM 900 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, holding full operational and regulatory control.
