Flying the TBM 900 into Stormy Calgary Alberta Canada

[@n229dh6]

I went and toured the factory in Tarbes last Thursday. Manufacturing was amazing and the people there were so accommodating. If you haven't been you should take the time to go. Avex set it up for my wife and I. The 960 is state of the art.

Amazing! I am glad you had that experience. I was there last year I agree with everything you said. Le REX?

[@n229dh6]

@@MrLincMer We actually drove to Luz-Saint Sauveur that afternoon to watch the TDF climb Col du Tourmalet.

I demo’d the Epic, there is no radar pod but it’s planned for a future version.

[@MrLincMer]

How was the Epic to fly and have you flown the TBM to compare?

[@sandromasucci3354]

How many lbs of fuel to top it off ? And how much more useful load you have left in that configuration ?

[@MrLincMer]

Total fuel capacity is 1956lbs (292Gal) usable. With max fuel, you're looking at around 750lbs of useful load, but that varies by how the aircraft is equipped.

[@n229dh6]

Each seat weighs 45lbs. Taking out 4 will increase useful load by 180# still staying within cg.

[@MrLincMer]

You highlight a great point.
