Daher TBM Full Flight Simulators1 training center with TBM simulators — Turboprop
SIMCOM Aviation Training, a CAE company, provides business and general aviation training with Level D simulators across multiple locations.
The Daher TBM series represents the pinnacle of single-engine turboprop performance aircraft, combining jet-like speed with turboprop efficiency. These high-performance aircraft, including the TBM 900, 930, 940, and 960 models, are primarily operated by corporate flight departments, high-net-worth individuals, and charter operators requiring fast, efficient transportation for executive travel and time-sensitive missions.
Level D simulator training for the TBM series focuses on the sophisticated avionics systems, including the G1000 NXi glass cockpit and advanced autopilot functions that define modern turboprop operations. The training program typically spans 5-7 days, emphasizing the unique characteristics of single-engine turboprop operations at jet altitudes and speeds. Pilots learn to manage the PT6A-66D engine and utilize the aircraft's impressive climb performance and cruise capabilities.
TBM simulator training covers normal operations, emergency procedures, crew resource management, and advanced weather systems navigation. Critical training elements include high-altitude operations up to FL310, ice protection systems management, single-engine emergency procedures, and the sophisticated flight management systems that enable precision approaches and fuel-efficient cruise flight.
Corporate pilots, owner-operators, and charter company aviators typically pursue TBM type rating training. The program attracts experienced pilots transitioning to high-performance turboprops and those seeking to operate one of aviation's most capable single-engine aircraft in demanding corporate and charter environments.
