Daher recently marked a significant milestone with the delivery of its 100th TBM 960 aircraft. This high-speed turboprop member of the TBM family was delivered to Kevin Kaseff, president of investment group Titan Real Estate. The handover took place through Avex, Daher’s authorized distributor in Camarillo, California.
Kaseff, whose operations are based near Santa Maria on California’s Central Coast, commented on his choice of aircraft as follows: “The TBM 960 offers the efficiency I was looking for in terms of speed, range and airport access. And its turboprop engine generates fewer carbon dioxide emissions than a jet aircraft.”
The TBM 960 made its commercial debut in April 2022. It represents the latest evolution of Daher’s line of single-engine turboprop aircraft. Key components include a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-66XT engine and a five-blade composite propeller from Hartzell Propeller, integrated with a dual-channel digital engine and electronic propeller control system (EPECS). This system optimizes powerplant operation, reduces pilot workload and improves fuel economy. Fuel efficiency is reported to improve by 10 percent at Daher’s recommended cruise settings.
The TBM 960’s interior enhancements include an environmental control system from Enviro Systems, LED ambient lighting, electronically dimmable windows and improved passenger comfort features. It supports TBM electronic copilot functions such as the icing protection system and the HomeSafe emergency automatic landing system.
