Daher TBM 960

Name: Daher TBM 960
Brand: Daher

The TBM 960 is a pressurised single-engine turboprop built for owner-flown missions: high cruise speed, low operating cost, and access to short runways that jets cannot use. Its PT6E-66XT with digital engine control makes it one of the simplest very-high-performance aircraft to own.

Ownership & structuring considerations

The fastest route into private flight — a single engine that owners fly themselves.

Owner-flown operation changes the structuring question: a single-pilot type rating and the operator's base drive crew licensing and social-security treatment, not the registry flag.
Low acquisition and operating cost relative to a jet, but resale value is sensitive to engine life and avionics currency — a point for the valuation.
Popular for private (non-commercial) use; VAT and import treatment still depend on where the aircraft is based and used, not on the manufacturer.

Questions

Can I fly the TBM 960 myself?

Yes — it is certified for single-pilot operation and designed for owner-flown missions, subject to the required type rating and recency.

Where is it usually registered?

Private turboprops are registered across EASA and specialist registers alike; the right flag depends on your residence, operating base and financing, which is exactly what the structuring work settles.
