Frequently asked questions
How fast is the TBM 960?
The TBM 960 cruises at up to 330 knots TAS - making it the world's fastest single-engine turboprop by some margin. It reaches FL310 and covers London to Istanbul in around 3 hours. This performance is the primary attraction for the business owner buyer.
What is the difference between the TBM 940 and TBM 960?
The TBM 960 introduced the -66E engine with FADEC and increased power, improved climb performance, and a new Homet Performance mode that optimises the engine for each phase of flight. The 940 has Garmin Autoland - a feature not on the 960 at launch. Both are exceptional aircraft.
Is P&W engine programme enrolment required for TBM finance?
Yes - Pratt & Whitney Canada Eagle Service Plan (ESP Gold) enrolment is expected by specialist lenders. Aircraft not on programme attract significantly lower advance rates and some lenders will not consider them.
Can a TBM be purchased through a company?
Yes - and this is the most common structure for UK TBM buyers. Corporation tax capital allowances on 100% of the business-use proportion, VAT reclaimable on business use.
What is the typical advance on a TBM 960?
Typically 70-80% of open market value for a well-specified TBM 960 on programme. The TBM's premium resale market supports strong advance rates from specialist aviation lenders.
