On Tuesday at the Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, Daher unveiled the model year 2024 Daher TBM 960, which features enhanced pilot awareness and lower workload. The TBM 960 on display this week at the show sports a new Sirocco paint scheme with silver, matte blue, and black highlights.

Among the updated model’s enhancements is a pilot inactivity detection function for the HomeSafe emergency autoland system, which automatically activates after 30 minutes if there is no pilot interaction with the aircraft’s systems. According to Daher, the system provides several prompts and warnings before automatically activating autoland.
