Heated Seats Now Standard on New Daher TBM 910/930s

Daher has added electrically heated seats as standard equipment on 2018-production TBM 910 and 930 turboprop singles. Once the pilot engages the mode via a master control in the cockpit, each occupant can choose whether to use the heating and select either light or moderate heat settings.

Other new features included in 2018 model year TBMs are tailored for improved pilot interface.

In addition, the pilot’s oxygen mask now has a high-fidelity microphone for clearer communications with ATC when the mask is in use.

Daher delivered 57 TBMs in 2017, marking the second-best commercial year in the French aircraft manufacturer’s history.
