TBM is great. I have had 3 over about 20yrs. 700A, 700B, 700C2 Now in a 5yr gap - but looking to get a new one soon!

These TBM's are beautiful planes... mini-airliners!

[chadgriffith]

Hell of a jump from a 100HP kit build to 20k a month minimum all in.

Great review. Thanks. Where would you recommend I look for buying this model?

[RusscanFLY]

I love that TBM! Definitely hits all of the stops for sure.

[davidcollier]

I believe a TBM does not actually require a type rating.

[goncalocardoso]

For roughly the same price you can get a new Piper M350. Give it a second look because it's actually quite capable. Also with pressurized cabin and similar layout to the TBM.

Mike have you started your training in any TBM ?

[tetttettamilli]

@MG - How does it compare to the Pilatus12 or the King Air C90 cabin/comfort-wise(obviously both used); how do u feel progression-wise going from the piston Sling to a TP - the 700? And wouldn't the Malibu suffice, given the said criteria: "room for four", capable"), "fast (faster than the Sling)", and obviously bettering the TB 700 in every conceivable cost consideration?

Im glad you chose this plane. While videos on the newest models, you just assume older ones are obsolete.

[radiotec]

I recognized the TBM thumbnail. Sweet aircraft and has a jet feel in terms of climb and acceleration without the downside of jets. Nice aircraft!

Pilot door was first available in the 700 B models

You might consider brand new piper M600, also 280KTAS, brand new avionics, and factory care program - piper will cover maintenance up to 1500 flight hrs.

It's amazing how people think that flight training in a high-performance aircraft like this is the same as attending traffic school: You sit through 'X' number of hours of class, and here's a Certificate of Completion, congrats, off you go. There are seasoned airline pilots with thousands of flight hours that have difficulties transitioning from one plane to another. There are seasoned airline pilots that bust (fail) periodic check rides. To think, "this bird is awesome, here's my money!" is beyond naive. When you go to training, you better bring the skill to learn, study, be tested, and then MAYBE you'll pass. More time than not, the inexperienced pilot will get the chit scared out of them and have brains to back off.

Definitely review the MU2 solitaire. That might truly be the most underrated turboprop. Especially since pilots are now trained properly in how to fly it with full span flaps.

[drboyce]

Great video brother. Your content inspires me to be a better pilot

[wilzboyz]

Pilot door in pre 900 series models is leaky. Also, the useful load isn’t really different. The French load up A/B models to C2 rating all the time. Unless 135 use no issue at all. But that’s only if you’re comfortable w that.

[onetime]

What is the cost for inspections on this airplane ? Thanks

[tymurrell]

Anyone else notice the InGen sticker from Jurassic Park? Spared no expense!

[collinator]

Was that the Ingen logo from Jurrasic Park movies i saw on the side of the plane? Thats cool lol
