Socata TBM 960 Aircraft in United States

Originally built by SOCATA, now part of Daher (TBM series).

United States is the world's largest GA market with the highest concentration of aircraft, dealers, MRO facilities and flight infrastructure. FAA certification standards, N-registration. Most TBM/PC-12/Cirrus production aircraft sold in the US used market are N-registered with full FAA documentation.

The Daher TBM 960 (2022+) is the current production TBM flagship — the first TBM with the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-66XT FADEC-controlled turbine engine, replacing the PT6A-66D's hydromechanical fuel control with full electronic engine control. Result: reduced pilot workload (single-lever power control with full FADEC management), slightly improved fuel efficiency, and the most refined TBM ever produced. HomeSafe Autoland, E-copilot, Garmin G3000 NXi avionics carry forward from the 940. The 960 represents the cutting edge of owner-flown single-engine turboprop aircraft.
