Daher Unveils More Upgrades
The manufacturer recently announced several enhancements to its TBM 960 and Kodiak 100 turboprops.
French aircraft manufacturer Daher recently announced several upgrades for its high-performance TBM 960 and utility Kodiak 100 turboprop singles at the Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida. The company also designated Simcom as the factory-approved training organization for all Kodiaks and TBMs.
Though revealed only last year at Sun 'n Fun, the TBM 960 is getting a checklist review button on the yoke and repositioned altimeter setting knobs, as well as Garmin 4G LTE/Wi-Fi datalink and GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar.
Meanwhile, Daher tapped Simcom for Kodiak 100 and 900 training, building on their 24-year relationship for TBM instruction. As part of the agreement, Simcom is installing a fixed-based Kodiak flight simulator, built by Frasca International, at its Scottsdale, Arizona facility that is expected to be online by October.
