How to Fly the TBM 850 Like a Pro Pilot - Boerne Stage (5C1) to College Station (KCLL) FULL FLIGHT
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Join me as I fly the TBM 850 from the Boerne Stage Airfield (5C1) to Easterwood Field (KCLL). This is a very short flight for a TBM of less than 150nm, however a MUCH longer video than I have ever previously posted. It's the entire flight from startup to shutdown. Hopefully you stick around to catch my sarcasm (attempted humor).
To be a professional pilot means to be regimented in standard operating procedures. To me, this doesn't matter what your license, certificate, or rating that you hold but rather, the way you conduct your flight operations, ensuring safety and passenger comfort/care. Notice my strong use of checklist, checklist, checklist. These are not "do" lists, but checks to verify a "flow" or flow pattern of actions performed. Also, there is a lot of automation management when flying modern aircraft.
Thank you for watching, and feel free to reach out for any suggestions, comments or questions!

The History of Socata TBM (now Daher 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.
If anyone has any questions on the TBM, aircraft ownership, or purchasing your first plane (to include a high performance pistons like a Cirrus), I'd love to hear from you, as my full time job is brokering aircraft at Mason Amelia.

Love the TBMs! Thanks for the ride-a-long!!!
Thanks for your time watching, Tom!
I like that you are always talking and describing what you are doing. Nice job.
Thanks, Jimmy. That must be my CFI skillset. Hard to do at first, but now it's like walking and chewing gum - D'oh!
How funny, I was interested in TBM videos, saw yours not noticing the title and date, and now realized I flew my plane into Boerne on the 5th for annual! What a coincidence! Great video btw!
Corbett, yes those were pretty slim odds! Feel free to shoot me a message. My mobile number is on the aerista.com, or email jesse@aerista.com
Nice video man!
Nice tips….
You made that look easy!!!
Enjoying your channel and all your tips!
Buck, thank you for watching!!
Loved the video. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you watching this video. Thank you!
Love the video man! Just got my PPL and will be using flight following to KCLL soon, so it’s really awesome getting to listen to your radio work in preparation.
Where are you based?
@@LookingforHigher Beaumont, KBMT
Love the TBM 850. Hope to have the opportunity to fly one someday. Awesome video
Thanks for checking this out, Patrick!
Beautiful Bird my friend and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching.
Great video! Flying the tbm at simcom tomorrow and loved seeing the tbm 850 in action!
That’s awesome. Where are you based?
I love the TBM, keep up the videos please, Jesse :)
Thanks for watching, Craig!
Nice work Jesse!!!
Thanks for checking this out, David!
Great video !
Thanks a lot for checking it out!
I’ve gone to KCLL in orange and white aircraft quite a few times. We really like the restaurant on the field. I always love seeing TBMs and PC-12s on the ramp and hope to fly one in the future.
Thanks for checking my video out, Will. Yeah, that’s a pretty awesome restaurant…great amenity. I remember back in the day I’d fly from SSF to CLL just to go to Freebirds. My, have times changed 😆
My gosh, that's a beautiful aircraft...!
The silver sun reflectors to keep the cabin cool should be placed on the outside of the windows. The UV and heat reflected off of them from the inside will damage the glazing and other technology in the windows and lead to cracking and eventually window failure. There are products designed to strap around the outside of the cockpit windows.
I use the silver reflective windows “covers” for shorter stays, but yes the longer stays, you really should have the external canopy covers to protect the glass.
Hi Jesse, nice 850 :) I'm coming up to speed with my 700B N767HP since December... LOVE IT. Hope all is well.
Wow, that’s a slick bird… avionics?
@@LookingforHigher It's just now in the shop (Columbia) for the triad of upgrades - G600txi with EIS, dual GTN750xi and GFC600 with Smart Glide etc. Upgrading from the standard Honeywell EFIS, 530/430/GMX200 stack. Should be a new ship when done.
@@jordan65730 NEXT LEVEL!!
@@LookingforHigher Yes indeed - 9th aircraft in 20 some odd years... and it does feel like the next level. Thank you :)
First time seeing a TBM 850 with full glass. I do like Stevo1Kenevo's steam gauge version.
Those early 850’s are a great too! Same engine, and many being retrofitted with Garmin glass.
Dude come down to South Padre Island!! I want to fly in one of those!!!! looks so beautiful!!!
Thanks for checking out my video. I don't get to S. Padre often. Ever in San Antonio?
Once upon a time an Aggie pilot landed on what he called a "REALLLLY short runway" After he landed and barely stopped in time he looked to his left and right and said" Boy this runway may be short, but look how WIIIIIDE it is!!!!!".....
HAH, nice one!
@@LookingforHigher Ya its one of my favorite aggie jokes...
Ha
You know... It kind of looks silly when you redact your tail number during the walk around but you hear it in the radio talk and its clearly visible on your instrument panel. There's nothing to hide. Haha
You are correct! Any pilot will easily pick up on the callsign, but figured I’d do some concealment on the “book ends” to avoid the bots, or repurposed screenshots. Thanks for watching, Alek!
@@LookingforHigher oh, ok...not something I would have thought of. Thanks. I share your tbm passion with my flight sim.
@@Aleksandar6ix Microsoft Flight Sim is incredible. I actually practiced IFR on it at home (in between lessons).
I fly the fedex caravans, and I'm routinely starting above 150 ITT with no problems I however wait for the ng to spool up to about 18% ng never had any hot start problems
I'm sure you could start this higher than 150 ITT, but I'd say it's a best practice on the TBM/P46T. Then again, you're doing a momentary dry motor adding fuel at 18%.
That's cool...where do you fly out of? Martin Aire?
I wish I could afford one of those. So luxurious and smooth. I still need a license tho. I have no clue what traffic control was even telling you tho. Kinda a dream to pilot
Thanks for checking out the video! I’ve worked with these planes for years and have gotten opportunities to partner, lease, etc…
Ownership isn’t for all of us, but being a pilot could be. Start in the small stuff and work your way up.
@@LookingforHigher i get that. We’ll get there. I don’t have a lot of time to do much right now. Im an owner operator trucker but the market rates are low, fuel costs are high, and freight isn’t plentiful so you have to work 3X as much to meet your income requirements compared to a couple years ago. The market always fluctuates so it’s just surviving now, earning later for more time, such as learning to fly
Nice video. Why is this delay in your map ? Is it always like this in all aircrafts or what? Take care and fly safe!
Hell, Saulo. Thanks for watching my video! Which delay are you speaking of; could you share time you saw the delay?
If it's a map delay it -must- be the slower processing power of the legacy Garmin G1000 hardware. Many manufacturers (including Daher TBM) offer an upgrade to the all-new NXi, which replaces all legacy hardware, giving it ~5x the processing speed and OLED displays. Pretty sweet!
@@LookingforHigher Exactly what i meant. I just hate how everything is extremely expensive in aviation and it might be very expensive, sad. Anyways, good video, have a blast of a week
question on the 850, when you're at full beta (not reverse just beta/taxi detent) does the plane taxi by itself or you have go to idle ? trying to compare to a tbm 850 that recently came out on flight simulator to see if its accurate :)
Eh…great question! So, if I drop in beta (zero thrust) and release the brakes, would it roll?
I believe it still will, but not nearly with the same thrust. I’ll try it and report back :-/
@@LookingforHigher ooh perfect thank you then. I’ll transmit your feedback, when you’ll do it could you also tell me your weight to have a better idea, thanks !
Great video thanks im interested in a 850. Yours is beautiful. Is it true its hard to fly on approach and landing. Ive been told it can be difficult
No, Sir! Commuting home from the commercial airport (torture). I will follow up with a complete reply soon!
N236EA it’s covered on the plane , but mentioned on the comms
Yes, indeed. Any pilot will easily pick up on the callsign, but figured I’d do some concealment on the “book ends” to avoid the bots, or repurposed screenshots.
Thanks a lot for watching the video!!
How many airplanes do you own? What type of work do you do? Is the G-36 Bonanza a good first airplane to own?
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for checking out my video! I am a Cirrus SR22 owner and do some dry leasing in this TBM that I also manage. Both the TBM and my Cirrus are G1000 equipped, which is great for continuity…same avionics suite as the G36 - great plane! I am a full time aircraft broker for aerista.com
People love the performance and club seating in the Bonanzas, whereas the newer Cirruses G5+ (2013+) have the bench seating in the rear with a 5th seatbelt.
As far as being a good first plane to own, I’ll put on my broker and CFI hat…
What’s your flight experience and typical mission?
Yeah 5 miles away over at Coulter field it’s about two dollars cheaper a for fuel. Astin is high, That new fancy building costa bunch.
You're absolutely correct, but Marco Island Executive was really convenient. The overnight fee was a lot too 😕
Great video and thanks for posting…. Can you comment on the TBM 850 as it compares to Pipers M600? I just sold my mirage and in the market for a new bird.
I can. TBM is faster. TBM is easier to climb into the pilot seat. TBM is built like a tank. Support for older TBMs is wonderful. TBMs are hard to find these days, contact one of the major distributors (west coast = AVEX). They will help you find one. I own a 700a model, even the earliest is faster than the Piper. No regrets.
I just noticed the video producer is a broker, so give him a call!
Michael, thanks a lot for watching my video! Your question is on point, as the M600 is the first Piper that truly encroaches into TBM territory. In short, Chuck is spot on. To elaborate a little further, the "tank's" armor brings the 850's ramp weight 22% greater than the M600 (or a whopping 45% greater than the standard Meridian!!). The TBM 850 will overcome that, burning 35% more fuel to go 15% faster. This amounts to nearly 50% greater total costs of ownership (annually) - if the plane is maintained to the Daher pedigree, phased inspections.
Overall, the P46T (to include the M600) is the ultimate personal/family travel machine. The TBM 850 is the zero compromises, corporate workhorse. It is the 'better' plane, but with the associate costs.
NOTE - These cost figures can vary quite a bit, mission dependent (especially at the 1,000+ nm range).
jesse@aerista.com if you'd like to communicate further. Congrats on the sale of your Mirage.
Are you authorized by SOCATA Daher to be an official TBM trainer?
Thanks for checking out my video, James!
Good question. I’m not sure your level of knowledge in aviation, so I’ll answer thoroughly.
I’m authorized by the FAA, but not specifically by the manufacturer. I do not give insurance-required initial/recurrent. However, I occasionally provide “mentor pilot” services.
Since a type rating isn’t required for single engine turboprops, it’s usually the insurance companies that dictate more restrictive training and currency than the FAA.
Check out my latest video "Turn & Burn" when I give someone some post SimCom transition training. Miguel, while he was deemed okay to fly by the insurance company, I wanted to provide additional training on the nuances of this 850, as he normally flies a 960 that’s much more automated.
Someone knows a thing or two about fps on his cameras, no weird prop movements and clear screens. Good job
My Baron smells like rich leather, hot rod, and arrogance. Much like your TBM, I'm sure...smells like hot section, factory interior, and superiority. :) Much better than the RJ days - stale coffee, sweat, and shame. Sub'd for mutual grandiose appreciation.
The smell of arrogance versus "sweat and shame"... This is such a well thought out, masterfully crafted comment, and spot on. LMFAO.
I can take credit for Cirrus ownership, but I have use rights and manage the TBM. Yes, hell of a plane, and an "alpha" one at that. The Baron is a real hotrod!
I flew for Republic Airways. Who did you fly for? Thanks for checking out my video.
@@LookingforHigher Thank you for the compliment. 14+ yrs at XJT, building time for the majors. Now I'm flying 767s for a bush outfit that's growing like a bush outfit - with paper charts and flip phones.
Serious note, very few yt pilots bring the quality of airline-esque training to the screen. You get a high five from me for applying that with your flying; it needs to be more prevalent. I have future plans regarding that. "This Old Baron"
@@ericsd55 Chautauqua. Remember those guys?
@@LookingforHigher Yeah, I could never say their company name without cusin'.
@@ericsd55 I’ve heard them all :-/
Love the TBM videos! Keep 'em coming! -Beth
Wilco! Thank you, Guys.
That’s my dream plane to fly. Right now I’m stuck in 172s and 182s 😂.
I hear you, Levi! I remember being stuck in those Cessnas too. Do you fly for fun, or what’s your plan?
@@LookingforHigher I fly for fun, but I plan on making it my retirement gig. Would love to charter to the Bahamas or something. I’m taking my IFR checkride on September 6th, been trying to get it scheduled for 5 months. Going to take my commercial shortly after.
I like your modesty... like a pro. Sure
World’s okayest pilot here, merely sarcasm…but trying to assert sound principles of regimented standard operating procedures. Thanks for watching!
I don' t subscribe to any flying channels. TH-cam snuck this one in on me. I'm glad I watched your video. Makes me 100% sure I could never become a pilot. Too much terminology and too much multi tasking. It's like playing chess. You have to look many moves ahead. I could NEVER do it. Gives me great respect to all pilots.
Well, thank you sir for watching this video!
9:00 to 9:22 Dude is on a simulator 😆.
LOL! Do you fly the TBM on a sim? The G1000 feels like a game sometimes!

A pro doesn’t fly with two hands on the yoke
Musa, dang good attention to detail. Thanks for watching my video! For rotation of heavy, especially transport category - they do.
I'm not sure your level of flight experience, so being thorough with my response.
Hand on the power is indeed a very good practice, not to have an unintended "roll back" of power. Flying lighter planes, Cessna, Mooney, Cirrus, you should basically trim the plane for it to rotate with a touch of back pressure.
The Meridians, TBM, jets, are normally heavy, a two hand event, especially with varying CGs. Hopefully you trimmed appropriately too...
Regardless, in the TBM or a twin jet, I guard the power levers until I'm at V1 (takeoff decision speed) or VR in a single for abort. Otherwise, passing V1/VR respectively, we're flying after that!
Im the air with the greatest of else ✈️
