Six months after launching the TBM Advanced Aviator Program (TAAP), the TBM Owners and Pilots Association (TBMOPA) has signed up more than 100 participants. The program is designed “to pursue zero accidents in the TBM fleet by establishing a rigorous, professionally oriented standard of annual training and proficiency.”

TAAP participants who complete six core requirements during a 12-month period earn advanced aviator status from TBMOPA. The requirements include recurrent training with a TAAP-qualified instructor, an instrument proficiency check, adherence to TAAP operational guidelines, at least 100 hours of TBM pilot-in-command time, a sustained approach score above 80% on the Me & My TBM app, and at least two approved enrichment activities.
