Turn & Burn: Flying a Cirrus SR22 to Fetch a TBM 850 (4K UHD)

Mission: Provide my buddy Miguel additional in-plane difference training in the TBM
What to Expect: 4K Ultra High Definition collaboration with a local photographer and friend, Carlos of @clo_360photography
I’m excited to have you come along on my action-packed day of flying several high performance planes. We leave the San Antonio area (Boerne Stage Field 5C1) in Cirrus SR22 (best-selling piston aircraft for the last 20 years), and then in the Austin area (Lago Vista, Rusty Allen RYW) we jump in the Daher TBM 850, which is probably the most iconic single engine turboprop, known for its speed.

History of These Magnificent Planes
Cirrus
The Cirrus SR series is a single-engine four / five seat composite aircraft built from 1999 -
Present by Cirrus Aircraft. The initial launch of the Cirrus SR20 a few years prior, gave way to the more powerful 310 horsepower iteration, the SR22 (and ultimately the SR22T).
The SR22 series has been the world's best-selling GA airplane every year since 2003. With over 9,000 units delivered worldwide, Cirrus is the best-selling aircraft of the 21st century! The Cirrus SR22 is equipped with a whole-plane emergency recovery parachute system: the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), largely contributing to its market success (and in my case, spousal approval).
TBM
The SOCATA TBM (now Daher TBM) is a family of high-performance single-engine turboprop manufactured by Daher. It was originally collaboratively developed between the American Mooney Airplane Company and French light aircraft manufacturer SOCATA. In fact, "TB" stands for Tarbes, France where Socata was located, and "M" stands for, you guessed it - Mooney!
The design of the TBM family originates from the Mooney 301, a comparatively low-powered and smaller prototype Mooney developed in the early 1980s. Following Mooney's acquisition by French owners, Mooney and SOCATA started a joint venture for the purpose of developing and manufacturing a new, enlarged turboprop design, which was designated as the TBM 700. Upon its entry onto the market in 1990, it was the first high-performance single-engine passenger/cargo aircraft to enter production.
Shortly after launch, the TBM 700 was a market success, which led to the production of multiple variants and improved models, often incorporating more powerful engines and new avionics. The TBM 850 is the production name assigned to the TBM 700N, an improved version of the aircraft powered by a single Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D. In March 2014, an aerodynamically refined version of the TBM 700N, marketed as the TBM 900, then the 910 with standard G1000 NXi. The 930 arrived by 2016 with the G3000 flight deck, which was replaced by the 940 with autothrottles and autoland in 2019. As a crescendo in 2022, the magnificant TBM 960 has arrived, with the Fadec-controlled PT6E-66XT P&W engine (5,000 TBO). Daher TBM has become a powerhouse in business and personal aviation, around the globe with these impressively performing aircraft.

Means a lot, the mix master and videographer Carlos Lopez has incredible attention to detail. Thanks for watching!

Man that prop looked super close to the ground on that upslope when you started taxing. 😳. Keep pumping out the content! Well done!!!!

[@LookingforHigher]

Thanks so much for watching. It must’ve been just illusion -there-.
We have some dicey area to watch out for. Shockingly the TBM prop clearance is about an inch lower than the SR. Can be tricky to land.

Cool video! 🙌🏼
