Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
Launched in 2022 with the world's first PT6 FADEC
Daher unveiled the TBM 960 at Sun 'n Fun in Florida in April 2022, a historic moment for turboprop aviation: the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-66XT engine was the first PT6 in history with FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control). The PT6 family has existed since 1963 with more than 60,000 units produced, always with analog mechanical controls; the PT6E started a new era of digital turboprop engines with smart maintenance.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Single-lever power: engine + propeller in one control
Combining FADEC (engine) + e-Prop (electric propeller), the TBM 960 operates with ONE single power control that manages both torque and propeller pitch automatically, behavior similar to a modern turbofan. On the previous TBM 940, the pilot handled the power lever + condition lever + propeller mode separately. Result: reduced workload and operation accessible to a pilot coming from jets.
10% better efficiency + smart maintenance
The PT6E's FADEC manages fuel with digital precision, resulting in ~10% less fuel burn in cruise vs. the TBM 940's PT6A-66D (55 vs 60 gph); at 500 hours/year it saves ~US$ 22,000 in fuel. In addition, the engine sends telemetry data over the internet (Pratt & Whitney FAST system) enabling predictive maintenance, reducing unscheduled MROs and increasing dispatch reliability.
Noise reduction with a cabin acoustic package
The TBM 960 brought a cabin acoustic redesign with new insulating materials, a reformulated headliner and an e-Prop propeller calibrated to minimize vibration; Daher reports -3 dB in cruise vs. the TBM 940. On flights of 3+ hours, reduced acoustic fatigue is a real difference for passengers who used to complain about the TBM being noisy compared to the Pilatus PC-12.
Limitations
Same 1990 cabin, no stand-up
Despite all the digital technology, the TBM 960 uses exactly the same fuselage as the TBM 700, a cabin 1.21m wide and 1.22m high, with no stand-up cabin and no enclosed lavatory. For customers comparing with the Pilatus PC-12 NGX (1.52m wide cabin, lavatory with door) or the Cirrus Vision SF50 (jet), the TBM remains a speed-seeking pilot's choice more than a comfort-first one. Range is also identical to the TBM 910/930/940, 1,730 nm.
Curiosities
Replaced the TBM 940, list price US$ 5.38M
In 2022 Daher launched the TBM 960 to replace the TBM 940. Base list price in 2026: US$ 5.38 million (B&CA, Mar/2026), before options (TKS anti-ice, crew oxygen, GTS 855 traffic, FlightStream 510). In its price range, it competes directly with the Pilatus PC-12 NGX (~US$ 5.4M base) and Piper M600 SLS (~US$ 4.3M).
