Daher TBM 910 for Sale — Buy or Sell the World's Fastest Single-Engine Turboprop
The Daher TBM 910 represents the pinnacle of single-engine turboprop performance available on the pre-owned market — a pressurised, six-seat powerhouse that combines jet-comparable cruise speeds with the efficiency, simplicity, and operating economics of a single turboprop. Introduced in 2017 as a significant upgrade over the TBM 900, the TBM 910 brought a fully integrated Garmin G3000 avionics suite with autothrottle, enhanced synthetic vision, and connected cockpit technology to the TBM platform for the first time, alongside the same Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D engine that makes the TBM family the fastest certified single-engine turboprops in the world. Daher TBM 910 aircraft for sale are highly sought after on the used market by owner-pilots who demand the highest level of performance, technology, and safety in a single-engine aircraft. Airplane Trade is the best place to find and list TBM 910 aircraft worldwide.
The TBM 910 — Evolution of an Icon
The TBM (Turboprop Mooney, later Socata, then Daher) family traces its origins to a 1987 joint development project between Mooney Aircraft and Socata of France. The original TBM 700 entered service in 1990 and immediately established the TBM as the performance benchmark for single-engine turboprops. Successive upgrades — the TBM 850, TBM 900, and the landmark TBM 910 — have progressively enhanced the avionics, systems integration, and passenger experience while retaining the same basic airframe and the exceptional PT6A engine. The TBM 910 was launched at the 2017 NBAA convention and represented the most significant technological leap in the TBM series since the introduction of the 850, centred on the complete replacement of the dual Garmin G1000 NXi panels with the Garmin G3000 integrated avionics suite. The G3000 brought three large touchscreen displays, autothrottle, advanced autopilot, ADS-B in and out, and seamless iPad/tablet connectivity — putting the TBM 910 cockpit on par with turbine aircraft costing three to five times as much to acquire.
Key Features of the TBM 910
- Garmin G3000 Avionics Suite — Three 14-inch HD touchscreen displays; integrated flight management system; autothrottle; synthetic vision; ADS-B in/out; Garmin ESP electronic stability protection; Garmin VNAV; fully coupled autopilot.
- Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D Engine — 850 shp flat-rated to 700 shp; exceptional reliability record; on-condition inspection intervals of up to 3,600 hours.
- Pressurised Cabin — 6.0 psi differential pressurisation; maintains sea-level cabin equivalent to approximately 8,000 ft at the aircraft's maximum certified altitude of FL310.
- Anti-icing Systems — Full known-icing certification; pneumatic de-ice boots on wing and tail leading edges; electrically heated windshield; prop de-ice; pitot-static heat.
- OPAD (Automatic Pressurisation and Descent) — Automatic emergency descent system activates if cockpit altitude exceeds 14,800 ft; reduces pilot workload in hypoxia scenarios.
- Speed — Maximum cruise speed 330 knots TAS at FL280; the TBM 910 is among the very fastest certified single-engine piston or turboprop aircraft in the world.
- Connected Cockpit — Wi-Fi connectivity; Garmin Pilot integration; automatic flight plan upload; ACARS-style messaging with Daher's connected services platform.

Operating the TBM 910 — Real-World Economics
The TBM 910 is remarkably cost-efficient given its jet-comparable performance. Fuel burn at high-speed cruise (330 knots) runs approximately 50–55 gallons per hour of Jet-A; at long-range cruise settings the burn drops to around 45 gph. Direct operating costs — fuel, engine reserves, maintenance, and insurance — typically run between $700 and $1,000 per flight hour for a well-maintained TBM 910 operated by a private owner, compared to $2,500 or more for a comparable light jet. The PT6A-66D's excellent reliability record and the on-condition inspection programme mean that engine costs are predictable and manageable. Daher's robust dealer and service network provides coverage across North America, Europe, and major aviation centres worldwide.
Buying a Daher TBM 910 — What to Look For
- Engine Hours (TTSN / SMOH) — PT6A-66D engines operate on-condition; review hot section inspection records and assess any past over-temperature events or foreign object damage history.
- Avionics Software Versions — Verify the G3000 suite is running current software; Garmin and Daher release regular updates that may require installation to maintain full functionality.
- Service History — Confirm all Daher-mandated maintenance bulletins and Service Instructions are complied with; TBM maintenance is best performed by Daher-authorised service centres.
- OPAD and Safety Systems — Test all safety systems including OPAD during pre-purchase inspection; these systems are core safety features of the TBM 910.
- Interior Condition — TBM 910 interiors are premium-quality from the factory; assess wear on seats, side panels, and carpets; refurbishment costs can be significant on heavily used aircraft.
