Daher has announced the first delivery of a Model Year 2017 TBM 930, incorporating new equipment and cabin outfitting details. Features include a redesigned cabin with new seat cushions, headrest and armrest; along with seat fairings that are now covered with Ultraleather synthetic fabric material offering increased longevity.

Three cabin interior harmonies are available: Black Diamond, Beige Luxor and Agate Grey. Brushed aluminium fittings for the main door stair, handrail, pilot door and rear seat side beam are standard, with a polished finish available as an option.

Introduced in the cockpit panel is Garmin’s new GTX 345 transponder, configured with ADS-B “In” compatibility with the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast system. The “In” function enables aircraft to receive traffic and weather information (available in the U.S.).

Certain features that previously were options are now included on the 2017 TBM 930 version, such as a stick shaker linked with the Under Speed Protection (USP) system, and the Flight Stream 210 gateway that enables wireless connectivity for two mobile devices running the Garmin Pilot app.

Cabin temperature controls are now backlighted, and passengers have access to high-power USB charging ports installed on the cabin’s left and right sides. Also in the cockpit are a new digital hour meter for flight time tracking and three high-power USB charging ports (5 V/3 Amp).

All Model Year 2017 TBM 930 and TBM 900 aircraft are configured to accommodate the “Elite Privacy” enclosure – a quick-change option that integrates a lavatory area in the TBM’s aft fuselage. It serves as a bench-type seat with a low divider wall when not in use during flight, and converts to a fully private toilet compartment at the touch of a button.

Daher already is accepting orders for the G1000NXi-equipped TBM 900, which is expected to be certified in a few months.
