Daher TBM 960

The Daher TBM 960 entered service in 2022 as the flagship of Daher's TBM family of high-performance single-engine turboprops, built on the proven TBM 700 and 900 airframe. It introduced a fully digital engine and propeller control system around the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-66XT engine, paired with the Garmin G3000 touchscreen flight deck and a refined Prestige cabin. The result is the fastest single-engine turboprop in charter service, with jet-like cruise speed at a fraction of a jet's operating cost, and short-field access to smaller airports.

The TBM 960 is a turboprop, not a jet, which is the key to its value. A turboprop uses a propeller driven by a turbine engine, far more fuel-efficient at lower altitudes and shorter distances than a jet. The TBM 960 narrows the speed gap more than any other turboprop, cruising at 330 ktas, close to a light jet, while costing far less per hour to operate.

• Lower cost: at $1,500 to $2,000 per hour, the TBM 960 runs well below the $2,500 to $3,500 of a light jet.
• Near-jet speed: at 330 ktas it is the fastest single-engine turboprop, closing much of the speed gap to light jets on regional trips.
• Short-field access: it operates from runways as short as about 2,350 feet, reaching smaller airports.
• Best mission: fast, efficient regional trips for up to four or five passengers where cost matters but speed still counts.

The TBM 960 has a compact but refined Prestige cabin, seating up to 6 in a club-style layout focused on comfort for smaller groups. While smaller than a PC-12 or King Air, it is one of the most modern and well-appointed turboprop cabins available.

• The club-style cabin seats up to 6, with four to five typical, in ergonomic seats developed with a focus on long-trip comfort.
• Electrically heated seats, electrically dimmable windows, ambient LED lighting, and cupholders are part of the Prestige cabin.
• Baggage is split between an aft compartment and a nose compartment, handling roll-aboards and soft bags for the group.
• Dual-glazed windows keep cruise noise low. The cabin is best suited to smaller groups on regional trips. Confirm amenities at booking.

Note: Baggage note for the Daher TBM 960: With aft and nose compartments, the TBM 960 handles standard luggage for four to five passengers. For larger groups or more baggage, the Pilatus PC-12 or a King Air is the step up.

The TBM 960 performs well on fast, efficient regional routes for smaller groups within its 1,730nm range. These represent its most common charter missions.

Yes. The TBM 960 uses a proven Pratt & Whitney PT6E engine and adds the HomeSafe emergency autoland system, which can land the aircraft automatically if the pilot is incapacitated.
