The 2017 TMB 930 is a speedy plane, featuring new specs and cabin details! Check out a recap of the first delivery of this model by Daher in 2017, below!
The newly-delivered Model Year 2017 TBM 930 has the popular “Elite Package” enhanced interior, and includes the optional AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag in the torso section of four-point seatbelts at the two cockpit seats. When triggered, the airbag deploys up and away from the seated occupant, providing protection to the head, neck and torso.
The TBM 930’s AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag meets Federal Aviation Regulation 23.562 26g requirements for pilot/co-pilot seats, and provides additional safety for survivable impacts.
Features of the Model Year 2017 TBM 930 for passengers include a redesigned cabin with new seat cushions, headrest and armrest; along with seat fairings that are now covered with Ultraleather synthetic fabric material offering increased longevity.
Three cabin interior harmonies are available for customer choice: Black Diamond, Beige Luxor and Agate Grey. Brushed aluminum fittings for the main door stair, handrail, pilot door and rear seat side beam are standard, with a polished finish available as an option.
Introduced in the cockpit panel is Garmin’s new GTX 345 transponder, configured with ADS-B In compatibility with the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast cornerstone of airspace modernization. The “In” function enables aircraft to receive traffic and weather information (available in the U.S.).
