Landing the TBM 960 is the easy part. The hard part is coming up with $4.7 million to buy the airplane.......

[@blakeallender1]

Honestly though, for what you’re getting, under five mill is not that bad

[@trevor2526]

They redesigned the wing adding 95 gallons of fuel which pushed range out past 1,500mi.

[@GreatDataVideos]

Nice video. If you can make one with more details about the improvements, it would be even better.

My dream plane

[@bpena]

Was the landing at around 1:30 at Airglades, 2IS?

[@340Captain]

Nearly perfect. But it still needs Prist in the fuel unlike the PC-12 NGX, which is also FADEC controlled and has an effective fuel heater.

Woops, fell asleep with this barriton voice.😂

[@DanFrederiksen]

They renamed the plane for just autothrottle?

[@tanray7710]

You're correct. Yes they did.

[@trevor2526]

I’m pretty sure the 940 has autothrottle too.

[@avfan967]

Yep they gave it a new badge number, adding additional depreciation to the existing fleet. Nice touch. Out of touch manufacturer

[@340Captain]

The main advantage is the FADEC controlled engine which is the PT6E-66XT. So you only have a throttle with one linear travel from idle to full power. No more gates with ground idle, feather etc. Powerhandling is almost like in a jet.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@340Captain That's a trivial thing to do with a piston engine as well. Only in aviation would they pretend it's something valuable that needs a special name. Every cheap car has that.

narrator seems very bored have some excitement

[@ralphsmith4653]

He always sounds like that

[@avfan967]

The entire video was lame

[@all_golde]

They finally got rid of that stupid zig zag throttle BS

[@quasarsavage]

for its price just get a used small business jet lol

[@avfan967]
