A great alternative to the VLJ

The very light jet class usually offers greater speeds and more space than those of the turboprop class, but at higher costs. The Socata TBM 850 Charter was designed to compete with the VLJ class by offering an economic option. With a maximum range of about 1,200 nautical miles and cruising speed of 368 miles per hour, this aircraft can help you and your passengers get to where you need quickly and safely.

With seating optimal for four passengers, the Socata TBM 850 Charter is a great choice for business professionals making trips up to 1,200 nautical miles. Possible routes include Los Angeles to Seattle, New York to Orlando, or Chicago to Dallas.

Why use a single-engine plane?

The Socata TBM 850 Charter utilizes just one engine, which can help lower operating costs and the overall weight of the plane. The aircraft boasts a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D engine, which has a potential of 1,825 horsepower. Because the engine has been flat-rated at 850, it can perform well at extreme temperatures, still yielding high cruise speeds and climb rates under harsh conditions.

Premium cabin features

While the cabin of the Socata TBM 850 Charter isn’t as large as those of other turboprop planes, it utilizes the space it does have well. The four chairs are arranged in a double-club configuration for easy conversation and feature folding armrests and adjustable backrests. Each seat also has its own fresh-air vent and a reading light. Power outlets are also available throughout the cabin. A dual-zone heating and cooling system keeps the passengers and crew comfortable during the flight.

Speedy and Safe

The Socata TBM 850 Charter has high cruising speeds and altitudes, a combination that helps you save money on fuel. Because planes use less fuel at higher altitudes, getting high in the sky quickly is a priority when it comes to saving money. With a climb rate of 2,005 feet per minute, the Socata TBM 850 Charter can climb from sea level to 26,000 feet above sea level in just 15 minutes, and 31,000 feet above sea level in 20, under standard conditions.

An updated cockpit

Socata updated the cockpit from the TBM 700 model for the 850 model, opting to use the Garmin G1000 avionics system. This system is very light and not very bulky, which frees up additional storage space in the aircraft. It’s also very easy for pilots to use. The system comes with color weather radar, a Terrain Avoidance System, and two digital Air Data Computers.
