Daher TBM 900

The Daher TBM 900 is a pressurized single-turboprop that cruises above 330 knots, which is fast enough to give Dallas-area clients jet-adjacent block times on the West Texas routes where twin turboprops are the standard recommendation. Five to six seats, 1,730 nautical miles of range, and the speed to change the conversation about what a turboprop trip feels like.

Daher launched the TBM 900 in 2014 with a pressurized single-engine airframe, a Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-66D engine, and significant drag reduction from a new composite spinner and airframe refinements over the TBM 850. Five to six seats, 330 knots cruise, a ceiling of 31,000 feet, and 1,730 nautical miles of range. An electronic pressurization system and GARMIN G1000 NXi avionics are standard. Every Daher TBM 900 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Daher TBM 900 Fits Dallas

At 330 knots the TBM 900 covers Dallas to Midland-Odessa (MAF) in under an hour of block time. That is comparable to light jet block times on the same 300-nautical-mile route, and the TBM quotes below the light jet band. For an energy executive making a same-day Permian Basin trip with two or three colleagues, the TBM 900 delivers the travel experience of a fast single-engine aircraft at a rate that does not require a heavy-jet argument.

Addison Airport (KADS) in Addison, TX handles the TBM 900 comfortably and the airport’s business aviation focus means no commercial traffic delays. For a Park Cities or north Dallas client, the drive to KADS is shorter than to Love Field, and the TBM’s 330-knot cruise rewards the choice of a closer airport. The round trip from KADS to any primary West Texas energy destination is a realistic three-hour day.

Single-engine operation is the honest disclosure upfront. Daher and Pratt and Whitney have built a strong reliability record for the PT6A-66D, and FAR Part 135 operators flying the TBM 900 for charter meet the same certification, crew, and insurance standards as any twin. Clients who have a preference for multi-engine aircraft on every trip should book a King Air instead. Clients who understand the reliability data and want the speed will find the TBM 900 a practical choice on the Texas corridors.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
