History and General Description
The TBM 700A is the first aircraft in Daher Socata’s line of popular light business and utility aircraft. In 1990, the TBM 700A became the very first pressurized single-engine turboprop to become certified. Delivery of the aircraft began in 1991 and continued through the mid 1990’s up until the final aircraft in the fleet (Serial Number 0142) was delivered in the year 2000.
Powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engine, the TBM 700A is known for both reliability and speed. With a maximum cruise speed of 300 knots, this aircraft has earned its place as one of the fastest single-engine turboprops.
The success of the TBM 700A led to numerous future iterations of the aircraft including the TBM 700B, 700C, 700C2, 850 Legacy, 850 Garmin G1000, 900, 910, and 930.
