March greetings,

The word ‘March” originates from the Roman ‘Martius,’ named in honor of Mars, the Roman god of war. The original Roman calendar is attributed to Romulus, who founded Rome in c.753 B.C. Romulus’ calendar consisted of ten months and began with the spring equinox (the month of March). Interestingly, the Anglo-Saxons referred to March as ‘hlyd monath’ or ‘hraed monath’ respectively meaning “stormy month” or “rugged month.” With that in mind, March has lived up to its name here in the northern hemi-sphere. It’s time for a little rejuvenation and inspiration after a cold winter.

Perhaps there is some inspiration to be channeled through some of these notable in-dividuals who were born in March, which include authors Jack London, Ezra Jack Keats and Theodore Seuss Geisel, “Dr. Seuss”; poet Robert Frost; inventor Alexander Graham Bell; chemist Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen; physicist Albert Einstein; artists Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh and Gutzon Borglum (sculpted Mt. Rushmore); magi-cian Erich Weisz, “Harry Houdini”; musicians Glenn Miller, Eric Clapton, Aretha Frank-lin, Elton John and Nat “King” Cole; composer Franz Joseph Haydn; actors Desi Arnaz, Quentin Tarantino and Liza Minnelli; or athletes Cy Young, Randall Cunningham, Pey-ton Manning, Roger Bannister (runner and first person to break 4-minute mile), Bobby Orr, Bonnie Blair and Jackie Joiner-Kersee. The list is extensive and includes additional names in the categories mentioned as well as in headings such as diplomats, leaders, poli-ticians, astronauts, engineers, astronomers and more.

Inspiration can also be found in the form of innovation and invention. Here are just a few of the many events housed within March’s history: the soft drink Coca-Cola was introduced (1886); Heathrow Airport opened (1948); the Eiffel Tower officially opened (1889), the Hula-hoop was patented (1963); a wheeled suitcase with a collapsible towing handle was patented (1994); Bell was granted a patent for his telephone (1876); Henri Fabre manned the first aircraft to take off from water (1910) and Barbara Harmer was the first woman to copilot a commercial supersonic plane (1993).

In correlation with Ms. Harmer’s accomplishment, March is also Women in History month. In ‘Insight to the Past’ Giacinta takes this opportunity to investigate who the first females to work in control towers were and how other pioneering females paved the way for women to enter the aviation industry. Turn to page 8, for a glimpse into A Woman’s Voice in the Air.

Also in this month’s issue: Dennis Foote, South Central Regional Field Service Representative, demonstrates how easy it is to determine and display Accrued Time within CAMP MTX in the ‘Hot Tip’; AMSTAT examines innovations from the industry’s top aircraft manufacturers in ‘AMSTAT Market Analysis’; there is news from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in ‘Of Interest’; press from Daher-Socata in ‘OEM Highlights’ and, of course, there are ‘Pearls’ and ‘Tools’ for your reference.

FAA Kicks Off General Aviation Data Demonstration ProjectMarch 31– The FAA today announced the start

of a one-year project to demonstrate the capabili-ties of the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) program for the general aviation (GA) community. Voluntary data will be collected from GA pilots within 40 nautical miles of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

The FAA and industry are working together through the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) to use data to identify risk, pinpoint trends through root cause analysis, and develop safety strategies. The demonstration proj-ect is the next step towards expanding ASIAS, al-ready successfully used in commercial aviation, to the GA community to help identify safety risks and emerging threats. The project will collect public sector and proprietary data which will be protected. The data will not be accessed or used for FAA enforcement. The project will also ex-plore potential new voluntary information sourc-es such as digital flight data, pilot safety reports, manufacturer reports, and information voluntary provided from personal electronic devices.

Currently, ASIAS has access to 185 commer-cial aviation data sources including voluntary pro-vided safety data. ASIAS partners with the Com-mercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) to monitor known risk, evaluate the effectiveness of deployed mitigations, and detect emerging hazards. ASIAS has matured to the point that the FAA and indus-try can now leverage voluntarily provided safety data representing 96 percent of U.S. air carrier commercial operations.

More information is available in the Federal Register (www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0259-0385).

FAA Issues Final Rule to Improve Helicopter Safety

February 20, Washington – The U.S. Depart-ment of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Ad-ministration (FAA) today issued a final rule that requires helicopter operators, including air am-bulances, to have stricter flight rules and proce-dures, improved communications, training, and additional on-board safety equipment. The rule represents the most significant improvements to helicopter safety in decades and responds to gov-ernment’s and industry’s concern over continued risk in helicopter operations. Source: http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/

“This is a landmark rule for helicopter safety,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “These improvements will better prepare pilots and better equip helicopters, ensuring a higher level of safety for passengers and crew.”

All U.S. helicopter operators, including air am-bulances, are required to use stricter flying proce-dures in bad weather. This will provide a greater margin of safety by reducing the probability of collisions with terrain, obstacles or other aircraft.

Within 60 days, all operators will be required to use enhanced procedures for flying in challeng-ing weather, at night, and when landing in remote locations. Within three years, helicopter air am-bulances must use the latest on-board technology and equipment to avoid terrain and obstacles, and within four years, they must be equipped with flight data monitoring systems.

“This rule is a significant advancement in he-licopter safety,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. “This rule will help reduce risk and help pilots make good safety decisions through the use of better training, procedures, and equipment.”

Under the new rule, all Part 135 helicopter op-erators are required to:

• Equip their helicopters with radio altimeters.

• Have occupants wear life preservers and equip helicopters with a 406 MHz Emer-gency Locator Transmitter (ELT) when a he-licopter is operated beyond power-off glide distance from the shore.

• Use higher weather minimums when iden-tifying an alternate airport in a flight plan.

• Require that pilots are tested to handle flat-light, whiteout, and brownout conditions and demonstrate competency in recovery from an inadvertent encounter with instru-ment meteorological conditions.

In addition, under the new rule, all air ambu-lance operators are required to:

• Equip with Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (HTAWS).

• Equip with a flight data monitoring system within four years.

• Establish operations control centers if they are certificate holders with 10 or more heli-copter air ambulances.

• Institute pre-flight risk-analysis programs.

• Ensure their pilots in command hold an in-strument rating.

• Ensure pilots identify and document the highest obstacle along the planned route be-fore departure.

• Comply with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) weather minimums, Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at airports/heliports without weather reporting, procedures for VFR approaches, and VFR flight planning.

• Conduct the flight using Part 135 weather requirements and flight crew time limitation and rest requirements when medical person-nel are on board.

• Conduct safety briefings or training for med-ical personnel.

Since August 2004, the FAA has promoted ini-tiatives to reduce risk for helicopter air ambulance operations (See FAA Fact Sheet at www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=15794). While accidents did decline in the years follow-ing that effort, 2008 proved to be the deadliest year on record with five accidents that claimed 21 lives. The FAA examined helicopter air am-bulance accidents from 1991 through 2010 and determined 62 accidents that claimed 125 lives could have been mitigated by today's rule. While developing the rule, the FAA considered 20 com-mercial helicopter accidents from 1991 through 2010 (excluding air ambulances) that resulted in 39 fatalities. From 2011 through 2013, there were seven air ambulance accidents resulting in 19 fatalities and seven commercial helicopter ac-cidents that claimed 20 lives.

The estimated cost of the final rule in present value for the air ambulance industry is $224 mil-lion with a total benefit of $347 million over 10 years. The cost for other commercial operators is $19 million with a total benefit of $83 million over 10 years. There is no cost for any operators to use new Class G airspace weather minimums for visual flying but the benefit is $147 million over 10 years.

The rule responds to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and National Transpor-tation Safety Board recommendations.

OfInterestDISCREPANCIES [CONTINUED]

Discrepancy CategoriesThere are three discrepancy category selections that may be chosen all of which control the squawk’s due characteristics - Non-Defferred, Watchlist Deffered and MEL.

Watchlist/DeferredWhen the squawk is one that does not require immediate attention its classification may be set to “Watchlist/Deferred”. This requires the technician to input the appropriate deferral criteria best meeting the needs of the stated condition.;

Field Descriptions:

• Interval – The technician specifies the interval that the system will use to calculate a next due for each relevant UOM.

• Logbook – The log times are utilized to calculate a next due and are mandatory for this classification category.

• Extension – Allows the due time to be extended forward.

• Watchlist Number – A field that provides the opportunity to record a tracking number external to the system.

• Non-Essential Equipment & Furnishings (NEF) – Selecting the checkbox classifies the item as NEF allowing the operator to defer the maintenance as defined within their approved program.

• Due Calculation – The system defaults to “First” although “Last” may be chosen as merited. This dictates when the system will present the discrepancy on the due list by comparing the Due Point for each UOM and triggering the display either immediately when the first UOM calculates or afterwards after the last UOM calculates due.

• Restriction/Exception – This is a text field that will allow a restriction to be entered that will follow the discrepancy throughout the system.

As the business aviation community settles into 2014, AMSTAT takes a look at what some of the manufactur-

ers have been up to. Cessna begins the year with a clean sheet design, the Citation Longitude and revamps the Grand Caravan with the Grand Car-avan EX. Bombardier upgrades their line with the Challenger 350 and puts the finishing touches on the Lear 85. Dassault is keeping busy with the Falcon 5X, their first clean sheet design in a decade as well as fine tuning the Falcon 2000LX with the introduction of the Falcon 2000LXS. Eclipse Aerospace has resurrected the Eclipse Jet with the Eclipse 550.

The Citation Longitude, a long range design due to be certified in 2017, is expected to compete with the Embraer Legacy 650 and the Bombardier Challenger 605. The Longitude will have a 55,000 pound maximum take-off weight and will utilize an all new “gently swept” wing. The Longitude will also come with Snecma Silvercrest engines, that Cessna reports will produce 11,000 lbs. of thrust. Cessna is anticipating a 4,000nm range. The Longitude cockpit will be equipped with the Garmin G5000 touchscreen-controlled integrated avionic suite and will be the roomiest Citation with a 31 foot long cabin.

When Cessna conspired to build the most innovative Caravan to date, it was all about the engines. The Pratt and Whitney PT6A-140 engine brings the Caravan 208EX twenty percent more power than its predecessor. These new engines give the plane a better rate of climb and better runway performance. The rate of climb on the EX is just over 1,300 fpm, up from just under 1,000 in the previous model. These changes will allow operators greater mission flexibility, for example departing from “hot and high” locations without leaving off a lot of fuel. Cessna is ready to deliver the new model and has started a joint venture to produce it in China.

Bombardier also determined that a new engine would improve one of their existing products. They upgraded the Challenger 350 with Honeywell HTF7350 engines. These engines will produce 7,323 pounds of thrust and, according to Bombardier, in combination

New Kids on the Block

with new tilted winglets, allow the 350 to climb straight to 45,000 feet and fly eight passengers 3,200 nm. Entry into the market is slated for May 2014.

Despite not meeting their Lear 85 debut target date of December 2013, Bombardier is still forging ahead, determined to bring its customers what it describes as its’ most innovative aircraft yet. The 85 fits between the midsize and super midsize segments. This jet will be the first composite structure project for Bombardier with both the fuselage and the wing being built primarily from carbon composites. This approach will reduce the part count by manufacturing large, integrated structures. According to Bombardier, the revolutionary clean sheet design will provide a larger more comfortable cabin than other jets in the class

and will boast a state-of-the-art Rockwell Collin Pro Line Fusion avionic suite. The Lear 85 will be powered by the Pratt and Whitney PW307B engines. Although, there has been no word of a new release date, Bombardier is optimistic that the Lear 85 will enter service in 2015.

The Falcon 5X rocketed Dassault into 2014 with an original cutting edge design that takes direct aim at the Gulfstream G450 and the Bombardier Global 5000. As reported by Dassault, the Falcon5X will have a larger cabin than these competitors, weigh less and have better lift-to-drag characteristics. The Falcon 5X will be equipped with new Snecma Silvercrest engines which are 10-15% more fuel efficient than current engines having similar output. The Falcon 5X features a 16-passenger cabin that will be 6 feet, 6 inches high and 8 feet 6 inches wide.

AMSTATMarket Analysiswith Judy Nerwinski, Director of Research

Dassault says that the maximum take-off weight will be 69,600 lbs and that the aircraft will have a balanced field length of 5,250 feet, a maximum operating altitude of 51,000 feet and a typical Vref airspeed of 105 knots. The new 33 degrees swept wing will enable the Falcon 5X steep approaches with optimal lift coefficients but without high speeds. A fly-by-wire system will also incorporate nosewheel and rudder steering during take-offs. The new aircraft will use the latest version of the Honeywell Primus Epic system and is expected to make its first flight in 2015.

As a replacement for the Falcon 2000LX, Dassault launched the Falcon 2000LXS with expected deliveries in early 2014. Dassault states that the LXS will offer improved airport performance, payload, and cabin comfort compared to the 2000LX. The Falcon 2000LXS will have a payload of 2,190 pounds, a maximum take-off weight of 42,800 pounds and a balanced field length of 4,675 feet. It will offer a range of 5,200 nm and climb directly to 41,000 feet in nineteen minutes. The cabin sound level has been lowered by two decibels versus its predecessor and the aircraft will be delivered with a new Falcon Cabin HD+ management system. The engines have also been upgraded to the Pratt and Whitney 308C which will provide 7,000 lbs of thrust.

Possibly the most surprising aircraft to hit the skies this year is the Eclipse 550. Eclipse Aerospace bought out the remains of the defunct predecessor and announced the birth of the Eclipse 550. Essentially the same model as the original Eclipse 500, Eclipse Aerospace added an improved avionics package that includes satellite phones, autothrottles, synthetic vision, enhanced vision system and anti-skid brakes. A Pratt and Whitney PW610F engine allows for point-to point travel and delivers 900 pounds of thrust with low carbon emissions.

The resurrected aircraft, according to Mason Holland, Eclipse Aerospace CEO, is the most technologically advanced light jet the world has ever seen. He explained that it has features that just don’t exist in any other jet in its category or class.

Whether it be innovative new designs, technological improvements or a remarkable comeback, it’s clear the manufacturers are looking to a bright future.

A Woman’s Voice in the Air

with Giacinta Bradley KoontzInsighttothePast

During the month of March, I join historians, museum curators, the EAA, AOPA, the Antique Airplane

Association, the 99s, and other organizations to celebrate Women-In-Aviation Month. My contribution includes an article, such as this one, that focuses on some obscure or forgotten women in decades past who paved the way for future female pilots, mechanics, flight instructors, airport administrators, engineers, designers and other occupations in aviation. During a recent aviation event at a small municipal airport, I was surrounded by a group of retired WWII veterans who now fly their own g/a small aircraft. The subject turned to control towers. Many recalled a glassed in “tower” which was mounted on the back of a truck during the 1980s. The tower was as portable as the controller’s rest room. By the 1990s they had a tall permanent tower manned with voices of airport personnel they had known for years. Did I say “manned”? For decades a female tower operator had guided these pilots to safe take-offs and landings. Most had never seen or met her, but all had a special place in their hearts for “that woman’s voice.” I began to wonder – who were the first females to work in a control tower. I searched through the available records and finally came to the conclusion this is one question without a clear answer.

Archie’s WheelbarrowBetween 1903 and WWI, with few aircraft

in the air, there was no need for controlling a landing field, except during air meets, or races. In the late 1920s, aviation boomed with more men and women flying and more municipal airports built to accommodate them. The airport control tower as we now know it, evolved with the advent of ground to air radio communications and when commercial flights required improved airport operations. The FAA claims Archie William League (1907-1986) as their first air traffic controller. Already a licensed pilot and aircraft mechanic in 1929, League was hired to direct traffic at the field in St. Louis, Missouri, which is now St. Louis International Airport. With colored flags, League signaled to aircraft when it was safe to take off or land. He hauled his flags, chair, lunch box, notebooks and a shade umbrella to the end of the field in a wheelbarrow. During the winter, League

Prior to WWII a series of books for boys was published which outlined potential careers in aviation. I searched but found no similar books encouraging girls to aspire to the same jobs. And yet, during WWI, there were hundreds of women working in aircraft factories. At Glenn Curtiss’s plant in New York, hundreds of women were trained as aero-nautical engineers. These women are less recognized than the women made famous by the iconic “Rosie the Rive-tor” of WWII, and the non-military, WASP (Womens Air Service Pilots). During the 1920s era of “Flapper Girls,” women cut their hair short like men, and blazed their way into male-dominated professions, including flying.

bundled up in his flying suit. When the airport acquired radio communication equipment in the 1930s, League became the airport’s first radio controller. Thereafter, League excelled in his 36-year career helping to develop the Federal Air Traffic Control System.

One researcher who attempted to identify America’s first female air traffic controller discovered that prior to WWII, no formal records were kept with enough information to identify the female equivalent of Archie League. “Many have considered Mary Chance VanScyoc as the first woman controller,” says the author, but there are at least a dozen more potential candidates known through oral histories who lack documentation of their work.

According to the historian for the Air Traffic Controllers Association (ATC), VanScyoc began work at the Denver Airway Traffic Control Center in Colorado in 1942. VanScyoc was a licensed pilot, then a requirement of the job. “Our instrument panel included an anemometer, barometer, a few phones, switches for runway lights and a microphone. All transmissions from the airplanes were audible in the tower. We had no radar and no instrument landing system,” wrote VanScyoc of her job during 1944. From Denver, VanScyoc went to work at Wichita, Kansas, where the airport was surrounded by factories building military aircraft, including drones, bombers, and gliders which kept the field in constant use for test flights and deliveries. In addition, smaller aircraft from the nearby Beech facility were also tested. Controlling the traffic for such diverse aircraft was a challenge. VanScyoc later recalled, “There were quite a mix of airspeeds.” Following her career in the towers, VanScyoc continued to fly and teach

school, often volunteering her time at the Kansas Aviation Museum. She died at age 91 in 2011.

Women Were ThereWomen were always involved in some aspect

of aviation even if their names are not recorded. In small numbers, women like Mary VanScyoc, were there.

In 1912, American aviator, Oscar Solbrig, made exhibition flights and his personal air traffic controller was his wife, Mary. Mary was also Oscar’s mechanic, tuning up the 50hp Roberts engine on his biplane. While Oscar did a run-up prior to flight, Mary scoured the ground for divots and dangerous objects in his path, and made sure other aircraft were clear. When Oscar’s engine had reached the precise RPMs, Mary dropped a handkerchief to the ground as a signal it was safe to take off.

It is probable that during the 1920s, while League was waving his checkered flag for a “Go” take-off, a female counterpart was also directing planes as a volunteer for a municipal airport. I can imagine her, pulling a wagon of flags she made from kitchen towels, along with the necessities of her job during hours in a big field. Perhaps she brought clothing to mend, note paper to write letters, or a magazine to read.

We may never know her name. But I bet she was there doing her job.

Daher-Socata’s New TBM 900 Very Fast Turboprop Aircraft Comes To Sun ‘N Fun 2014 For Its Debut Public Appearance

Lakeland, Florida, USA, April 1, 2014 – DA-HER-SOCATA is showcasing two new TBM 900 during this week’s 40th SUN ‘n FUN Internation-al Fly-In & Expo at Lakeland, Florida, which will mark the new aircraft’s initial public presentation.

Based on its improvements, the TBM 900 has attracted significant attention among pilots, own-ers and operators, with more than 40 already or-dered, and as of March 31st, the first 6 airplanes have already been delivered to their customers.

“With its large public attendance, SUN ‘n FUN offers us the opportunity to share the fruit of three years of intensive work in the fields of market sur-veys, engineering and manufacturing” explained Stéphane Mayer, DAHER-SOCATA’s President & CEO. He added : "We are proud to introduce the TBM 900 to the market".

As an active pilot, Mayer is rated on the TBM 900, and came to SUN 'n FUN flying a TBM 900 on its ferry flight from France to its customer in the U.S.A.

Nicolas Chabbert, the Senior Vice President of DAHER-SOCATA’s Airplane Business Unit, underscored the tremendous interest generated by TBM 900’s improvements in speed, efficiency and comfort. “All of this aircraft’s development and production milestones occurred on time, meeting our extremely ambitious goals,” he added. “As part of an internationalization for the TBM program, new technologies have been integrated from new suppliers – many of them U.S. based.”

The TBM 900 offers superior performance for a low fuel consumption, along with a maxi-mum cruise speed of 330 kts., and 1,730 naut. mi. maximum range. This is the result of aero-dynamic improvements along with other aircraft enhancements.

Changes incorporated by DAHER-SOCATA in the TBM 900 include:

• Aerodynamic optimization through the addition of winglets and a vertical tailfin strake, as well as a new tail cone;

• The use of a five-blade composite pro-peller and redesigned spinner;

• A complete nose-to-firewall redesign for improved engine airflow circulation

– featuring a banana-shaped air intake, carbon-fiber cowlings and new exhaust stacks;

• Enhanced human-machine interface features, ranging from an ergonomic control yoke with new functions to the restyled cockpit panel for increased visibility and interaction with secondary system controls;

• A revised cockpit center pedestal that incorporates a single-control throttle operation, associated with a new torque limiter that enables the use of 850 hp. engine power at takeoff;

• A completely revamped electrical system with 300-amp starter generator that al-lows new avionics and electronic devices to be

• Increased passenger comfort, benefit-ting from lower cabin noise levels, an automated pressurization system and new-design seats.

Retaining primary airframe commonality with the predecessor TBM 850 – including its Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D powerplant – the enhanced TBM 900 version ensures a proven air-frame/engine combination.

By using the available 850 shp. engine power from takeoff, the aircraft’s ground roll is reduced – even in hot-and-high conditions – while its im-proved climb rate enables the 31,000-ft. ceiling to be reached in 18 minutes, 45 seconds.

Following its March 12 unveiling in France and deliveries of the initial aircraft at a Florida ceremo-ny on March 20, the TBM 900 has now begun a series of public appearances. After SUN ‘n FUN, the TBM 900 will next participate in Europe’s AERO general aviation show at Friedrichshafen, Germany, to be held April 9-12, and the Euro-pean Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland on May 20-22 .

Daher-Socata Begins Deliver-ies Of The New TBM 900 Very Fast Turboprop Aircraft

Polk City, Florida, USA, March 24, 2014 – DAHER-SOCATA has delivered the first three production versions of the newest member in its TBM family of very fast, single-engine turboprop business aircraft: the TBM 900.

They were presented to their pilot-owner cus-tomers last week during a ceremony at Fantasy of Flight Park, Polk City, Florida, which was hosted by Patrick Daher, chairman and CEO of DA-HER; Stephane Mayer, CEO of DAHER-SOCA-TA; and Nicolas Chabbert, Senior Vice President of DAHER-SOCATA’s Airplane Business Unit.

One of the TBM 900’s first customers is Larry Glazer, who also is chairman of the TBM Owners and Pilot Association (TBMOPA). “Our organi-zation appreciates its excellent relationship with DAHER-SOCATA – which has been responsive to our requests and continued willingness to go the extra mile – or should I say kilometer – to make the customers happy,” Glazer said at the de-livery ceremony. “The new TBM 900 is aligned with this commitment, and has everything a cus-tomer could expect. It incorporates an all-glass cockpit, cruises faster, climbs faster, is quieter, bet-ter looking and just plain sexier.”

The Polk City event was attended by a large audience of aviators, officials, the news media and TBM enthusiasts. It followed DAHER-SO-CATA’s official TBM 900 unveiling during the previous week at the company’s Tarbes, France headquarters.

The TBM 900 offers superior performance: a maximum cruise speed of 330 kts., and 1,730 naut. mi. maximum range with five adult passen-gers – the result of aerodynamic improvements, a fuel consumption reduction to 37 U.S. gallons per hour, along with other aircraft enhancements.

Developed during a more than three-year pro-gram involving 160,000 research and develop-ment hours, along with 200 hours of flight testing, the TBM 900 incorporates 26 modifications that build on the solid basis of its DAHER-SOCATA very fast turboprop aircraft family.

Based on its enhancements, the TBM 900 has generated significant interest among pilots, owners and operators, with more than 40 already ordered.

Daher-Socata Reveals The TBM 900 Very Fast Turboprop Aircraft

Tarbes, France, March 12, 2014 – DAHER-SO-CATA today unveiled the newest member in its TBM family of very fast, single-engine turboprop business aircraft – the TBM 900 – which offers improved efficiency, an enhanced environment

• The use of a five-blade composite pro-peller and redesigned spinner;

• A complete nose-to-firewall redesign for improved engine airflow circulation – featuring a banana-shaped air intake, carbon-fiber cowlings and new exhaust stacks;

• Enhanced human-machine interface features, ranging from an ergonomic control yoke with new functions to the restyled cockpit panel for increased visibility and interaction with secondary system controls;

• A revised cockpit center pedestal that incorporates a single-control throttle operation, associated with a new torque limiter that enables the use of 850 hp. engine power at takeoff;

• A completely revamped electrical system with 300-amp starter generator that allows new avionics and elec-tronic devices to be incorporated on the aircraft. Its new electric core enables a semi-automatic start-up, while the new-generation 100-amp stand-by alternator provides electrical input in case of power supply loss;

• Increased passenger comfort, benefit-ting from lower cabin noise levels, an automated pressurization system and new-design seats.

Retaining primary airframe commonality with the predecessor TBM 850 – including its Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D powerplant – the enhanced TBM 900 version ensures a proven air-frame/engine combination.

The TBM 900’s top cruise speed is increased to 330 KTAS at 28,000 ft., and its maximum range is extended to 1,730 naut. mi. with five adult pas-sengers as a result of the fuel consumption reduc-tion to 37 U.S. gallons per hour.

By using the available 850 shp. engine power from takeoff, the aircraft’s ground roll is reduced

– even in hot-and-high conditions – while its im-proved climb rate enables the 31,000-ft. ceiling to be reached in 18 minutes, 45 seconds.

“Today, we are introducing a new aircraft to business aviation: the TBM 900, which benefits from the resources of DAHER and some USD 30 million of investment,” said Patrick Daher, Chairman and CEO of DAHER, at the aircraft’s reveal ceremony in Tarbes, France. “DAHER is a true aircraft manufacturer with full capabilities to manage complex programs, from design and development to production, delivery and after-sales support.”

Stéphane Mayer, President and CEO of DA-HER-SOCATA – the Aerospace & Defense activ-ity of DAHER – said “the TBM 900 results from the company’s attention in listening to customers, and builds on the TBM 850’s success. This posi-tions the company for its future in business avia-tion, as well as underscores the capabilities of the DAHER’s Aerospace & Defense activities”.

“The TBM 900 provides a new competitive edge by delivering even more on the right combi-nation of speed, performance, efficiency and fuel consumption,” said Nicolas Chabbert, the Senior Vice President of DAHER-SOCATA’s Airplane Business Unit. “As with the other TBM family members, it will be supported by our growing in-ternational network, and backed by the DAHER-SOCATA commitment to customer satisfaction.”

Some of the TBM 900’s new elements are manufactured at DAHER-SOCATA’s aerostruc-tures and systems production sites in France for composite components and piping.

The optimization of this latest TBM family member was achieved through major efforts in modeling, including the use of computational fluid dynamics – enabling detailed assessments of airflow around the aircraft that replaced tradi-tional wind tunnel testing. As a result, the TBM
