Daher’s latest-generation TBM turboprop single—the TBM 960—received FAA validation on Friday, just two months after the airplane was certified by EASA. The French airframer unveiled the upgraded airplane in early April at the Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, and by the end of that month had handed over the first production example to a customer in Germany.
