The Daher TBM 940 For Sale

In March 2019, Daher (formerly Socata) announced the release of the TBM 940. It was an upgrade to the TBM 930 model and provided many new upgrades to the design, safety and infrastructure. Some of those upgrades include automatic de-icing and a Garmin system autothrottle.

Certified in May at the EBACE show, the 940 also comes with a trademarked system called Homesafe. This is an emergency auto landing technology, which helps guide passengers to a safe landing location, in case the pilot is not able to.

Performance

This single engine turboprop is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66D, with a thermodynamic rating of 1,825 horsepower. As per Daher, it is one of the most powerful engines in the PT6A family. It is also considered one of the most reliable powerplants ever built in an aircraft.

In a standard configuration, the 940 can seat a maximum of 6 passengers. It has a maximum range of 1,730 nautical miles, at a long-range cruise speed with 4 passengers. Its maximum cruise speed is approximately Mach 0.49 and maximum cruise altitude / service ceiling is 31,000 ft.

The maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) for the TBM 940 is approx. 7,394 lbs and maximum landing weight (MLW) is approx. 7,024 lbs.

Interior

Similar to other aircraft in its class, the TBM 940 is fairly flexible with its cabin configuration. Seats can easily be removed, allowing for more cabin room and additional space for baggage. The cabin dimensions measure approx. 4 ft in height, 3 ft 12″ in width and 13 ft 4″ in length.

When it comes to the flight deck / avionics, the 940 uses the Garmin G3000 system. The integrated avionics system uses three 12″ ultra high resolution displays, which help enhance the view of terrain and other obstacles for the pilot.

Autothrottle is another feature that can be found on this aircraft. Working in unison with the G3000 system, it is known to be one of the 1st to be included on a single engine turboprop weighing less than 12,500 lbs.

Additional Info

As of 2018, Daher has delivered over 260 TBM 900 model aircraft.

The new 5.7 inch GTC 580 glass touch screen controller, helps provide greater control over advanced functions of the aircraft.

The Ergohacks Verdict

This year hasn’t gone well for our street. We’ve had a couple of cars wing mirrors broken off and the neighbour’s car was broken into with several tools stolen. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not exactly a bad area but it seemed like time to take a couple of extra precautions. A short consultation with Maplin and these two extra precautions materialised in the form of the Swann Heat-Sensing 4 Channel 1TB CCTV kit with 2 cameras.

So what do you get for your money? Almost everything you need. You get two outdoor cameras with built-in IR emitters to see in the dark and 18 metres of cable so you can put them at the best place. You get a central console that you can plug into a TV or monitor or just leave to record. Once its setup it can record on schedules when specific parts of the view change or just on motion detection.

The cameras were straightforward to install – or as straightforward as anything involving a ladder could be. The fixing screws and wall plugs provided were a little small for the brick wall we were attaching to but once the cameras were up they were solid. There’s a reasonable amount of tilt and twisting possible to change the viewing angle but they can’t be moved left and right by more than a few degrees. The cameras have around a metre of cable on them then this attaches to a much longer extension cable. This junction isn’t protected in any way so the longer cable must be designed to run inside the house rather than on the outside wall. Plugging the data and power cables into the box was straightforward and there’s a great diagram in the instructions that made it very simple. Switch it all on and there’s an initial setup wizard to follow through – although you don’t need a TV or monitor attached to it permanently you do need one for that setup.

Once it’s up and running you can monitor it via the Android and iOS apps or via your PC. The Android and iOS apps turned out to be very simple to use – although the image quality was downshifted significantly  – but PC access was harder to set up. The manuals covered the physical setup and the mobile apps but were quiet on how to get PC access setup and it took considerable searching to find that HomeSafe View rather than SwannView or SwannLink which was listed under Firmware updates was the software I should be using.

If you want to watch the camera’s locally it’s straightforward either by plugging in a TV or – once you’ve gotten the correct programs sorted – over your local network but the chances are that you’ll be more interested in checking who’s at your house when you’re not. The system tries to setup it’s own connection to the wider internet but it’s based on UPnP. UPnP does make getting online simpler but it’s a protocol that has a number of security problems and hence is disabled on my local network. I was able to give the DVR box a fixed IP and set up manual port forwarding and it’s not really Swann’s fault that this is as complicated as it is but expect to have put some time into this.

I’d been sceptical of the quality of the image that the cameras would give but was very pleasantly surprised. The field of view is decently wide and the level of details is impressive. In the end, security cameras are there to watch and identify people and read number plates. If you get the positioning right these cameras work perfectly for this with sufficient extra resolution to let you zoom into a reasonable amount. At night time the cameras emit infrared and you get a monochrome but still very usable picture. Swann quotes the range at night at 40 metres and I’d call it a little less than that but still more than enough to cover the front of a house. The IR does have some problems when it gets a very bright light such as a car headlight pointed directly at it then having difficulty deciding what level of contrast to use, but if you can set up the position of the camera such that a car pulling into your driveway won’t naturally point directly at it it’s a minor problem.

The control box can be set to record between specific times, manually if you’re watching it or when it detects motion. You can set it to record continuously so you can get 30 seconds of video before anything happens and there’s a decent sized hard disk at 1TB to store them. Swann also gets good points for including several tools to look at the health of the hard disk – recording continuously is tough on a hard disk and having it break and lose your recordings would be frustrating. There’s also the facility to setup email alerts for any problems – a camera stops working or the disk starts to degrade and you get an email.

Playback is simple letting you search by date and time or look on a timeline to see when the clumps of activity are. The videos can be exported onto a USB drive either individually or en-mass in a standard AVI or MP4 codec. If you’re looking for an event you don’t know the time of there’s also a Quick Review mode that plays four recorded streams simultaneously so you can quickly review.

All in all the Swann Heat-Sensing 4 Channel 1TB CCTV Kit with 2 Cameras kit is a decent answer to most home security camera questions.  It’ll let you get decent coverage on the front of a building day and night. It’s reporting features mean that you can set it up and apart from occasional checks to you could forget about it until you needed it. If you want to go the other way it’s also possible to set it up to display a feed the whole time or just hook it to your TV so you can see it when you need it. Highly recommended.

Requirements

The system is designed to be fitted perminantly to the outside of a house or and office. It’s not complicated to install but it will take some DIY ability to attach the cameras which will probably need to be done at height and which will need holes drilling through external walls.

Once up and running the system needs mains power and will benefit from  – but does not require a wired ethernet connection.
