TBM 900 - Seriously Detailed Interior Tour

In this video I walk through essentially every switch, lever, and button in the TBM 900 (skipping the standard Garmin G1000 parts). If you ever wanted to know "what's that thing do" here's my attempt at answering! Check out my other video for the external details: • TBM 900 - Exterior Tour

Jason, thanks for a wonderful introduction to your TBM. This is now my new lottery winnings aircraft.

[@UberGeek]

That is awesome Jason. I am a former Avionics technician and have about 250 hours in Cessna and Bonanza but haven't flown in a long time. My eldest brother recently test flew the 940 to verify the pressurization after the seal was damaged & repaired. He knows I enjoy flying the TBM 930 in MSFS 2020 and sent me a couple pictures of his flight.

[@JasonFlies]

awesome! Yeah, the 940s are really impressive tech-wise!

[@michaelmcdaniel3006]

I wish more pilots did this! Many thanks!!!

[@incubus_the_man]

This has become my favorite plane to fly in MSFS2020. Nice to see the real thing. They did a great job of modeling the plane in game.

[@avoidingtrees6692]

Very rare detailed tour.thanks Jason.👍 Cheers from France

[@waynesilva3129]

A very good job of explaining the cockpit. To me the TBM seems like a superior plane over the piper.

[@bernardanderson7569]

Greatest way to know your Aircraft And thank you for your time to let me know where everything thing is in the 900 Jason

[@tuckeni1]

Nice tour!!. I love the TBM range of planes.

[@lee4318]

Thanks Jason Awesome Tour! , Hot Start TBM900 got me here :-)

[@felix_jc]

Me too !!!

[@jonoon27]

Thank you for a great interior tour of this beautiful airplane. Merci...,

[@Republic3D]

Really a fantastic aircraft. Thanks for showing us!

[@russellthorburn9297]

Thanks very much for the video. I just purchased the TBM 900 for X-Plane so your walk thru was very useful and informative for me.

[@Daniel-xt3vz]

Russell Thorburn thoughts on the hot start tbm now?

[@humbledtrader760]

That was awesome. Thank you for the tour

[@Keythers]

Thank's for doing this video. Great job.

[@BenA-bu1cz]

Thanks for the detailed presentation.

[@chamberlin1]

Favorite video! Thanks for this one!

[@abdollahgilani4119]

Thank you for your excellent descriptions

[@enzofilho]

congratulation from Brazil - the best explanation about TBM900 interior tours - thank you very much

[@JasonFlies]

So great to hear that, thanks!!!

[@mdonato249]

Excellent video, controls are well laid out.

[@steveantson9608]

Great video. I was looking for something like this for a few weeks

[@stevenmoore4612]

Great tour and beautiful aircraft! I’m pretty sure you could fit six passengers in there. It wouldn’t very comfortable, but I’m sure it could work, plus a small bathroom which is rare in planes like this.

[@TheFlightLevel]

Great detailed video. Really loving the TBM930 in Flight Simulator. Integrated ForeFlight with the sim to perfection!

[@JasonFlies]

Thanks a lot!

[@davidrobertson996]

i appreciate this video, thank you so much, very informative

[@munanurajoshua]

I love this aircraft. Currently flying the C208Grand caravan but hopefully someday I'll fly one of these 🙏 Great video, thanks alot.

[@JasonFlies]

LOVE the caravan, got to fly one around the bahamas for a week once (a friend's) - was a trip I will never forgot, magical airplane for a magical place

[@lutherlewis2638]

Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@patzke]

Great great video. Love the TBM.

[@gmargodt]

Thanks for the brilliant video ☺

[@williamhammond3998]

I was skeptical of the word detailed. However, I was not disappointed.

[@jimmcgann4118]

Excellent job!

[@synzcity]

Very nice. Can't say I've ever seen a 3 million dollar aircraft in a T hangar. :) Gotta save it where you can!

[@davidcrockett5926]

Very well done.

Very nice tour

Nice video!

[@MrImperativeoz]

Thank You!

[@dirkvillarrealwittich]

06:29 Garmin G1000, great!

[@benakay]

Brilliant video. Nice interior. Wondering how relatively large the cargo bay is. Also, what's the leg room space in the club setting cabin?

[@JasonFlies]

Cargo area is not huge, but has worked well for the trips I have made so far. I flew a 900 full of people with luggage and from what I heard they were plenty comfortable for the 2-3 hour flight.

[@makemyday1477]

Thanks for the tour, I think they call that the 12volt connection instead of cigarette lighter, you're dating yourself, haha. I still call them cigarette lighters too.

[@daddytub]

Chuck You that’s funny. A few weeks ago I told a kid there was a cigarette lighter towards the bottom of the console in the back they could plug into... they were like.. “A what?” After a second or two I realized that I was old.

[@tamasdombi2122]

Thank you very much!

[@murlitodi919]

Lovely TBM 900....🙂

[@portersteel32]

Nice job...

[@loveguitar2x]

would you swap it for an E1000?

[@sonnycrockett8834]

Did you buy this for personal use after owning a Cirrus? Pretty cool if so.

[@sinnedcamel]

thanks fo rmaking this video i

[@curtisccr]

Seat question. I’ve asked others, but never got an answer. Why are the backs of the center seats so much lower than the others? I was watching a video on the new 940 and they put a really tall guy in that seat - didn’t look terribly comfortable for him. Maybe I’m missing something and it’s better than it looks. Thanks for this detailed tour, well done. I actually watched it a while back, this was a revisit.

[@JasonFlies]

The headrests in those can go pretty high, but I always figured they were a bit smaller to make it easier to walk by them when going into the cockpit and maybe to improve visibility from the rear-most seats or from the cockpit when looking at passengers. The rear seats are definitely more comfortable for taller folks though

[@o0OPioloO0o]

back headsets comunicate with front ones? or there are back isolated? the music selector its for pilots?

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah they can be used to chat with the crew up front. Can be turned off too if passengers don’t want to hear ATC.

[@bettigio]

Beautiful airplane, thanks for sharing👍 However, for the same price range, I’m more into the PC12, rather less speed but more legroom. I would love to hear your point of view. Cheers🍻

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah, though PC12 costs more than the TBM - but the PC-12 is super comfortable. It is just overkill for my needs, I won't be carrying that many people and things. Love that plane though!

[@bettigio]

Jason Thanks for your reply👍 One last quesstion: What do you think about the Piper Meridian? I’m considering a single engine turboprop but so many questions🙈

[@JasonFlies]

@@bettigio I like the one a fair bit, but it is smaller/tigher and I have found that the lack of a pilot door is not ideal - you have to squeeze past your luggage/pax to get up front. And it is a tight squeeze! It is slower, and I think a good part of that is that it effectively has an inertial seperator that is always active (built into the design of the intake). That means one less system to manage but also a constant speed reduction and I assume slightly higher engine temps, at least up in the higher altitudes. I don't have any experience on build quality or maintenance for pipers.

[@bettigio]

Jason Very well explained, thank you for sharing your point of view. Wish you CAVOK skies👍🛫

[@par5eagles975]

Great video. Where is the yaw damper switch?

[@JasonFlies]

That is in the middle of the autopilot panel

[@cup_and_cone]

Is the fore pilot door standard on the 900, or still an optional item?

[@JasonFlies]

My understand is that it is still "optional" but pretty much is the default config for a new aircraft now. I have enjoyed having it on mine.

[@Ok-551]

Did I miss the cup holders?

[@nickbass5118]

What brand I pad mount is that? We have the same plane and I really like your mount?

[@JasonFlies]

that is my old one from QR mounts. I've since switched to their height-adjustable versions www.qrmounts.com/qrmounts.html

[@babayega_]

Such a beautiful plane. I just can't figure out the 4 to 5 million price tag. It seems very overpriced. But then again most of turbo prop are super expensive.

[@Mattblackaviation787]

Why do the warning lights come on when starting?

[@JasonFlies]

To make sure the bulbs are working, much like a car dashboard lights up everything for a bit at startup

[@PCReboot]

This helps with FS2020

[@tomasjay1005]

Still think your right knee gets in the way of the gear knob. Socato should move it up about three inches for better clearance.

[@JasonFlies]

Never had a problem with that, but my iPad does somewhat hide the lights so I have to lean forward when I check those before landing (and I check those MULTIPLE times) :)

[@tomasjay1005]

Well, It's no real "Biggie". I can live with it. Nice thing about the gear knob on my Stinson, "there ain't any" ! They're permanently in the down position !

[@yurimoros]

How much is the cost of yours

[@freepilot7732]

Is it quiet enough to passengers to not have to wear their headsets?

[@JasonFlies]

Not really, you could but for long term use of the plane I want everyone on a headset to protect hearing. Good for listening to music/games anyway, so kids don't mind. :)

[@harpoon_bakery162]

did i hear him say that there is a pee-toilet? just wondering as I didn't see the necessary room for one but I could have missed it for sure.

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah, you remove the rear seats to make room

[@harpoon_bakery162]

@@JasonFlies ahh, ok, thanks. probably lots of room left for a hand sanitizer station now as well.

[@ctn830]

what happens when one of the kids has to go to the bathroom and can't hold it in,lol?

[@JasonFlies]

That's when the Travel John becomes worth its weight in gold! www.amazon.com/Travel-John-TravelJohn-Disposable-Urinal-pack/dp/B07C84MRMP

[@kelvinleigh]

Can the middle seats be configured face forward?

[@JasonFlies]

yes, they can, though I have not done that before

[@rmcl8834]

could use more lighting to see the interior and switches better

[@DCTexas22]

Why is earth Vader breathing into the mic?

[@tomgill1083]

Mhm:

[@thedodger4018]

If he had pushed in the middle of the Yoke, it would have disappeared and we could have seen the switches a bit better. Oh wait....

[@eddu4361]

This cockpit is far behind Honda Jet and Cirrus Vision Jet. Even the older Eclipse 550 has automated lots of this stuff or moved it to a screen

[@alaingrenier9128]

Don’t like single engine aircraft, cause once you lose that engine that’s it , especially night flying, so again once you lose that engine start praying 🙏 Buy a citation CJ3+ instead then your in business

[@kosys5338]

Is it just me or does someone sound like they are breathing into a scuba regulator in the back ground?

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah, there was some weird noise in the hangars that day, no clue what it was! :)

[@kosys5338]

@@JasonFlies No worries. It was a great video none the less.

[@yurimoros]

Very nice tour
