The Daher TBM 900 is the modern evolution of the TBM line and the fastest single-engine turboprop we arrange out of Los Angeles. Five or six seats, 330 knots and 1,730 nautical miles.
Daher redesigned the TBM 850’s aerodynamics with a five-blade propeller, winglets and reworked engine cowling to create the 900, gaining speed and range without more power. Five to six seats, 330 knots and 1,730 nautical miles of range. Every Daher TBM 900 we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Daher TBM 900 Fits Los Angeles
At 330 knots it outruns several light jets on this site while burning a fraction of the fuel, which on a Los Angeles to Las Vegas, NV or Los Angeles to Phoenix run makes it very hard to argue against on cost.
The 1,730-nautical-mile range is the longest of the TBM family and puts Denver, Seattle, Aspen, CO and the Mexican resort coast inside a single leg from Van Nuys with a light payload.
As with every single-engine turbine, we confirm the operator holds the right FAR Part 135 authority for commercial passenger work on type before it goes on a quote, and review their safety and incident history alongside it.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.

The TBM 900 quotes at the upper end of the single-engine turboprops and below a King Air 250, and on Los Angeles regional legs it is normally the fastest aircraft at that price.
