TBM 940

Daher introduced the TBM 940 in 2019 as an avionics-focused evolution of the TBM 900. Garmin G3000 avionics, an auto-throttle system, and HomeSafe emergency autoland define this generation.

HomeSafe is Daher's one-button emergency landing feature. If the pilot becomes unable to fly, a passenger presses a single button.

The aircraft then selects a suitable airport, navigates there, communicates with air traffic control, and lands itself. Few aircraft in any category, jet or turboprop, offer anything comparable.

The TBM 900 used Garmin G1000 with a separate GFC 700 autopilot. The TBM 940 moves to G3000, a more integrated suite built around three large touchscreens.

An auto-throttle system also debuts here, automatically managing engine power through every phase of flight. This cuts pilot workload meaningfully versus the 900's more manual power management.

A turboprop trades cabin size for a lower hourly rate. At $1,600 to $2,300 per hour, the TBM 940 costs less than a Citation CJ3 light jet.

• Lower cost: $1,600 to $2,300 per hour versus $2,500 to $3,500 for a light jet.
• Unique safety system: HomeSafe emergency autoland is not available on most light jets in this price range.
• 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 safety technology available.

The TBM 940 seats up to five passengers, typically a four-seat club section and a fifth seat in the cockpit with a single pilot configuration.

• Improved soundproofing carries over from the TBM 900, keeping the cabin notably quiet.
• 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 940 performs best on fast regional routes for small groups wanting the newest available single-engine technology.

Daher TBM 940 charter rates run $1,600 to $2,300 per flight hour, a premium reflecting its newer avionics. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the TBM 900, its direct predecessor, and the Piper M600/SLS. The M600/SLS is another single with an emergency autoland system. The 940 and M600/SLS are the two turboprops on the market offering this capability.

Every TBM 940 charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking.

The TBM 940 is certified for single-pilot operation and carries Garmin G3000 avionics with HomeSafe emergency autoland. 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

How much does it cost to charter a Daher TBM 940?

Daher TBM 940 charter rates run $1,600 to $2,300 per flight hour. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $6,000 for short international hops to $13,300 or more on longer legs. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

What is HomeSafe on the Daher TBM 940?

HomeSafe is a one-button emergency system. If the pilot becomes unable to fly, a passenger can trigger it. The aircraft then selects an airport, navigates there, and lands without pilot input.

What is the difference between the TBM 900 and the TBM 940?

The 940 keeps the 900's airframe, engine, speed, and range. What changed is the cockpit: Garmin G3000 avionics, auto-throttle, and HomeSafe emergency autoland replace the 900's G1000 setup.

How many passengers can the Daher TBM 940 carry?

The TBM 940 seats up to five passengers, typically a four-seat club section an additional seat in the cockpit in a single pilot configuration.

How fast does the Daher TBM 940 fly?

The TBM 940 cruises at up to 330 knots true airspeed (380 mph). That's the same speed as the TBM 900 it replaced.

Is a single-engine turboprop safe to charter?

Single-engine turboprops like the TBM 940 operate under the same Part 135 oversight as any charter aircraft. The PT6A engine family has one of the strongest reliability records in aviation. HomeSafe adds a further layer of protection unique to this aircraft.

Are empty leg flights available on the Daher TBM 940?

Yes. The TBM 940'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 940 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, holding full operational and regulatory control.
