FLYING THE BRAND NEW 2021 TBM940! - IFR FLIGHT VLOG

[@chrisgir3722]

This plane has evolved into an incredible airplane through its various variations and models. I was SOCATA marketing product manager for the TBM700 in the mid 80s when it was developed by SOCATA with Money and this latest version is way more than what we had envisioned at the time. Many fun memories working with the TB and TBM teams. Daher's team has really brought that plane to a higher level than we ever dreamt of. Kudos and keep the good work going!

[@tdlaustralia7791]

Wow, I had no idea about that home safe tech, that's amazing. You hear about small aircraft pilots having heart attacks and other medical issues and having a smart autopilot that passengers can push in an emergency is very cool.

[@snorttroll4379]

[@shoop4040]

OH! MY GOODNESS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT COLOR>>>> That would be my dream color on an aircraft- with a Yellow racing stripe. Love that cockpit display layout. The bird was wow, look at that awesome plane. Being inside the clouds always makes my heart beat faster, even while watching it. Thank you for the video - As always safe travels and may you continue to have the time of your life.

Attentive yes, calling out everything they're doing, no. "Press ignition button", "put into reverse", "release hand brake", "check mirror for cross traffic", and on and on. My passenger would look at me like very annoyingly.

Hello Stevo from Sydney, Australia. * the TBM 940 has some "state of the art ' avionics. * I'll research the auto-landing system (after doing so) "wow"Garmin Autoland. * the after market application with undercarriage and braking requirements add to the extra inputs to Garmin platform. * this has revolutionised safety in GA (in my opinion). 🌏🇭🇲

Will always admit I've had a strong appeal for the TBM series from 850 up. . .in no great part to your videos. What's so interesting to me is the fact I knew many seasoned pilots who had no clue about the TBM until I introduced them to your videos. They are now equally impressed. It is an impressive airplane indeed. HOME SAFE. Yes, I do wish to see someone in America demonstrate that feature. I've seen it done in Europe. Haven't seen it performed here. Does elevate passenger's comfort level. PS - The pilot side door was awesome!

I agree but i think the PC12 is even more capable. More Seats a toilet and able to land on unpaved surfaces.

in ICAO Land the TBM isn't too great tbh because it is only RVR >550m -> CAT1 whereas the PC12 is also CAT2 able with RVR of up to 200m afaik. Seems to be a limitation of the G3000

[@icalexander]

@@K0nst4nt1n96 That's a solid point. The PC12 is my favorite turboprop aircraft for that reason. I guess it depends on what you want. For me if I'm going to be flying a plane that can stay up for multiple hours at a time a head on board is a must.

There could be changes to the new model that affect takeoff and landing characteristics, plus there were other tips/instructions like pull the speed back to Max Maneuvering Speed in turbulent areas. Flying one like it and being the company guy who probably has the most hours and extreme testing experience, different things.

Does the Inertial separator deploy automatically when encountering possible cloud borne foreign objects like hail or is it still pilot deployed?

Always pilot deployed. However if you have it on when you shut down the aircraft, it will automatically revert to the off position when you turn power on -- which is where you want the IS for a start. Pilot must put it back into the on position before taxi -- I don't think that happened in this video. Also, I don't see the CAS message in white "INERT SEP ON"
