Socata TBM 700 Aircraft 1990s
Originally built by SOCATA, now part of Daher (TBM series).
1990s single-engine turboprops are early Pilatus PC-12 (1994+) and original Socata/Daher TBM 700 (1990+). PT6A reliability is exceptional; airframes are still well-supported. Avionics typically Honeywell or original PC-12 Bendix/King panel; many have undergone Garmin retrofit. Pre-buy: PT6A hot section inspection status, mandate compliance (ADS-B Out, RVSM if international).
The Socata TBM 700 (1990-2003 Socata production, transitional 2003-2006 EADS Socata era) is the founding aircraft of the modern single-engine turboprop owner-pilot segment. Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-64 turbine with 700 shaft horsepower, pressurised cabin to FL310, ~300 kt cruise, six-seat cabin. The TBM 700 transformed the owner-pilot high-performance segment by delivering pressurised single-engine turboprop capability at acquisition costs that put it within reach of accomplished private pilots. Over 300 TBM 700s were produced over the Socata/early-EADS era. The 700 remains a capable cross-country single-engine turboprop today with proper engine program enrollment, mandate compliance and corrosion-free airframe.
