The TBM 900 tail cone has been redesigned to be more aerodynamic, hence lowering drag and enhancing airframe performance. Socata added an additional light to the tip of the aircraft's tail in order to increase nighttime visibility. This enhances the TBM900's visibility to other aircraft in low-light circumstances by enhancing the illumination around the TBM900.
A single, ergonomically designed lever controls engine power, propeller and engine condition. In addition, its new backlit power center allows the TBM930 to start almost twice fast as its predecessors and automatic starter cutoff which reduces pilot workload during the startup sequence.
Large, high-resolution screens offer flight instrumentation, navigation, weather (GWX70 Doppler radar), terrain, traffic, and engine data on the G1000 flight deck, including the GFC 700 autopilot.

Homesafe, based on Garmin’s award-winning emergency Autoland system, is a game-changing emergency system that automatically brings the airplane to a runway touchdown if the pilot becomes incapcitated. The system is activated manually by an easily recognizable orange button atop the cockpit instrument panel. Its software integrates weather and terrain information to select the best airport for landing, taking into account fuel range and runway length.
The system provides inputs to the aircraft’s flight controls and adjusts engine power settings throughout the touchdown phase. It will activate the brakes on roll-out and shut down the engine after a full stop. The pilot can override the Autoland function at any time to resume normal flight conditions by simply disconnecting the autopilot

The autothrottle encompassed in the TBM is the first ever automated throttle installed on a production turboprop aircraft in the TBM weight category. The autothrottle integrated system integrates the engine power control and monitoring. Fully-integrated with the autopilot and linked to a smart engine gauge on the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, this single power lever can be used from climb-out to landing approach. During the climb phase. the pilot no longer needs to continuously adjust the throttle to reach the optimum torque. Climb to cruise transitions as well as setting with inertial separator activated are anticipated and smoothed by the autothrottle system. It also optimizes the cruise, adjusting automatically to the mode selected or to the active user’s profile settings.

The five-blade Raptor composite propeller, built by Hartzell Propeller, is fully integrated into the propulsion system. It has been specifically designed to reduce overall weight and improve the TBM-960s takeoff distance, climb, and cruise speed. Turning at 1,925 rpm during maximum power output, the Raptor contributes to limiting noise and vibration. Its sound level during takeoff is just 76.4 decibels, meeting the most stringent international noise standards. This makes the TBM-960 a “smooth operator” wherever it flies, maintaining the low-profile footprint of Daher’s TBM family.

From the propeller to its turbine parameters, the PT6E-66XT’s control is provided by a master system: the Engine and Propeller Electronic Control System (EPECS). This optimizes the powerplant’s performance throughout the flight envelope while reducing pilot workload by integrating all functions and protecting the engines life. Features include easier engine power management and parameter analysis.
The power lever is now an e-throttle, using a single forward position from takeoff to landing - with the EPECS optimizing the power settings and automatically monitoring turbine temperature limits. Additionally, the Fuel Control Unit (FCU) and Propeller Control Unit (PCU) are now electromechanical (instead of hydromechanical), managing engine parameters based on settings defined by the EPECS.
The TBM-960 is equipped with the PT6E-66XT turboprop engine, which is Pratt & Whitney Canada’s latest addition to the iconic PT6 family. The powerplants simple design offers easy maintenance, efficiency, low operational costs, and is covered by one of the industry’s most extensive support networks. It raises the bar in terms of engine performance, control systems, data intelligence, and service solutions.
The PT6E-66XT has a thermodynamic rating of 1,844 hp, making it one of the most powerful engines in the PT6 family, offering a nominal power of 850 shp. Additionally, the TBO has increased from 3,500 hours to 5,000 hours.
The TBM-960’s prestige cabin features a powerful environmental control system. This innovative feature combined with superior cabin thermal and sound proofing offers improved comfort for all passengers on board.
The passenger cabin zone’s temperature is easily managed with a touchscreen controller, complemented by individual electrically-heated seats, with the occupants being able to choose whether to utilize the heating, and select either light or moderate heat settings.
A new feature within the TBM family includes the addition of the Prestige cabin’s ambient lighting. Passengers control the cabin’s ambient lighting during the day via electronically dimmable windows. At night however, LED light strips which are integrated into the cabin’s overhead ceiling panel provide general illumination, complemented by individual reading lights.
The GWX-8000 radar system reduces pilot workload by providing an automated clear representation of weather by using an enhanced color palette now offering 16 colors, 3D volumetric scanning, hail and lightning prediction, advanced ground clutter suppression, and optional predictive wind shear detection. The GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar provides pilots with a complete picture of weather while eliminating the requirement to manually adjust the radar, resulting in easier weather interpretation and a more simplified operation.
Manual window shades have been replaced with the addition of electronically controlled dimmable windows with variable shading. The windows can be managed with individual control for all windows simultaneously. Additionally, the windows can be turned dark to protect the cabin from heat and sunlight.
