About the Daher TBM 700
Aircraft overview
The Daher TBM 700 is a pressurized, single-engine turboprop originally developed by SOCATA of France in partnership with Mooney, with the program later continuing under Daher. The prototype first flew in 1988, and production aircraft were delivered from 1990 until the mid 2000s, before the TBM 850 succeeded it. It occupies the owner-flown and corporate transport category, offering turbine reliability and high-altitude capability in an aircraft sized closer to a high-performance piston single than a twin turboprop.
Performance & specifications
The TBM 700 is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-64 turboprop rated at 700 shp. Typical high-speed cruise is around 300 knots, with long-range cruise profiles extending published range to about 1,400 nautical miles depending on reserves, altitude, payload and configuration. The certified ceiling is 31,000 feet. Useful load varies by variant and equipment, but many aircraft fall around the 2,000 lb class, with later C2 models benefiting from a higher maximum takeoff weight. Buyers should compare actual empty weight, installed equipment and fuel capacity rather than relying on brochure figures alone.
Cabin & avionics
The cabin is typically arranged for one pilot and five passengers, with club seating in the rear on many examples. The TBM 700 is valued for its pressurized cabin, relatively quiet turbine operation and practical baggage access, especially on later B and C models with improved doors and cabin layouts. Avionics vary widely by year and retrofit history. Early aircraft commonly left the factory with Bendix/King equipment and electromechanical or early EFIS presentations. The TBM 700 was not a factory Garmin Perspective aircraft, and Garmin G1000 is associated with later TBM generations rather than standard TBM 700 production. Many used examples have been upgraded with Garmin GTN navigators, G500 or G600 displays, digital engine instruments, ADS-B and modern autopilot interfaces.
Buying & value
On the used market, the Daher TBM 700 is positioned below newer TBM 850, 900 and 910 series aircraft, while offering much of the core TBM mission profile at a lower acquisition cost. Key variants include the early 700A, the 700B with improved access features, and the 700C1 and 700C2 with later cabin and weight improvements. Pre-purchase review should focus on engine time and trend data, hot section and overhaul status, propeller history, landing gear maintenance, pressurization condition, corrosion inspections, avionics modernization and damage history. Well-documented C2 aircraft with current avionics and strong maintenance records usually command a premium over early, lightly upgraded examples.
