Daher Aircraft sent an 11-member delegation to Savannah, Georgia, for the 2025 TBM Owners and Pilots Association Annual Convention (TBMOPA). More than 80 TBM aircraft arrived for this year’s event, where Daher shined a spotlight on its flight safety initiatives and customer support for the worldwide TBM fleet. The company’s delegation included executives and representatives from the Daher Care support team, sales, and communications.
Centered in the spotlight was the company’s Safe Horizons program, which complements TBMOPA’s pilot safety outreach. The initiative is intended to strengthen safety culture across the community by applying resources such as e-learning and the Me &amp; My TBM app. It also includes coordination with factory-approved training partners, with courses ranging from simulator and in-aircraft training to recurrent and multi-mission sessions.
During the Daher Care roundtable, company personnel described the six pillars guiding TBM customer service: responsiveness, resource optimization, collaboration within the authorized service center network, supply-chain engagement, owner and operator communication, and continual improvement. The team also outlined new data-driven processes for remote troubleshooting.
Daher Aircraft CEO Nicolas Chabbert noted that TBM owners and operators are recognizing and showing appreciation for these efforts, recently giving the company top ratings in product support surveys by AIN and other industry publications.
The event attracted 82 TBM aircraft and 320 participants, and this year’s auction raised a record $319,000 for the TBMOPA Foundation.
