100th delivery of Daher TBM 900

The Daher TBM 900 turboprop has reached a century of deliveries. The milestone TBM 900 was received by US customer Dale Schneider, a North Carolina businessman who is an active airplane and helicopter pilot.

Schneider’s first aircraft was a TBM 700C2 version, which he purchased in 2006 and has flown some 1,000 hours.

“This very symbolic delivery confirms that our TBM 900 not only is the fastest single turboprop, but also the fastest-selling TBM ever – as the program was officially unveiled only 20 months ago in March 2014.”

Nicolas Chabbert, senior vice president of Daher’s Airplane Business Unit said: “This very symbolic delivery confirms that our TBM 900 not only is the fastest single turboprop, but also the fastest-selling TBM ever – as the program was officially unveiled only 20 months ago in March 2014. We thank Dale Schneider for his confidence, and wish him the best for his next 1,000 TBM flight hours – and beyond.”

“Further contributing to the TBM 900’s value is the dedication of the teams at Daher and its partners to customer satisfaction,” Chabbert added.

Schneider selected the new aircraft based on his experience with the TBM 700C2.

“I purchased the pre-owned TBM 700C2 because it was fast. I then joined the TBM Owners and Pilot Association (TBMOPA) and enjoyed becoming a part of the TBM flying community.”

Schneider said: “I purchased the pre-owned TBM 700C2 because it was fast. I then joined the TBM Owners and Pilot Association (TBMOPA) and enjoyed becoming a part of the TBM flying community. So when the time came to replace my airplane, buying a brand new TBM 900 was the obvious choice.”
