- My first solo in a TBM 900. Sorry for the audio at the beginning, hopefully I will get better at this over time. The occasional rattles are from the camera shaking in the mount. The music at the end is just whatever was playing on SXM radio.
You have a beauty, thanks for bringing us along. Stay safe!!!!!

Jason thank you for sharing and giving your time and Happy Easter to you and your family
Super awesome. Thanks for sharing. What a perfect airplane to own and fly.
Thanks for taking us along. Well done.
Wow, what a beautiful airplane! Thanks for sharing your flight!
Very cool. One day I will get my own to play/fly with. My dream airplane for sure.
Thank you very much. I be subscribing and liking it every video you have put up.
Wow. What a beautiful machine.
Very nice, appreciate you putting your vids on here.
woow.. such an awesome airplane! thanks for sharing!
Nice video and beautiful aircraft!
Hey Jason! Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on your channel! That TBM is quite an upgrade from your SR22. We're glad to see that you, the misses and the boys are doing so well. If you ever get in to KUZA and have some spare time come take us for a ride! :-) Give our regards to K and the boys. Your former neighbors Pete & Anita T!
Thanks for the kind words, Pete! Hopefully we will get to see you guys next time we are in the old neighborhood!
Beautiful machine.
This is my dream aircraft...owning one would be so awesome. Super jealous man.
Jason, I stand corrected! You have much more experience than I do, in fact ANY tbm might be to much for me! Love that plane though! I have seen many tbm that have a combination of glass and steam instruments, that's for me! I still prefer the 850 engine quadrant. Be thankful for the wonderful life and family you have, you have been blessed!
That's amazing, lucky dude.
TBM with all the ForeFlight goodies. Very nice.
Love It Jason - thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark, I use tips you gave me on every flight!
Awesome aircraft. I've got the Hotstart TBM900 in X-Plane 11 and love flying it. It looks just like yours.
Thanks! Yeah, I helped them create that X-Plane model - gave them a bunch of photos, beta-tested, recorded sounds from it, etc - AMAZING sim model they have created, best I have ever seen. Talented group.
AWESOME video! Toto sent me here, and holy smokes you live in my hometown! I work at Atlantic at AUS! I'm currently working on my PPL and my plan is to go professional someday! We should definitely meet up sometime! I live near Lakeway
Excellent !
Who let the flies in !!! LOL Nice video !
I enjoyed your video!
Jason, nice going, like your videos too, , Gus's, you worked out the bugs with them,, STay well.
Great video. Like the shared info.
Awesome. Got some more videos coming soon?
More of these please! :-)
Awesome stuff sir, you got yourself a new subscriber :)
Awesome, thank you!
Hey Jason...great video...I fly out of KGTU...let me know if you ever need a copilot 😀.
Good Job!
Bring it down here to Corpus Christi CRP! I'd love to fly in a TBM! Lol
Greate Airplane I Love it, I join this on X-Plane 11.3 Best Regards from México City.
I love my 850!
Jason, Have you gotten used to that Toyota looking throttle quadrant? I think I would prefer the tbm 850 s "T handle" which would you like better? Thanks
Great job, thanks for the ride and congratulations on your first solo. BTW, I'm not a pilot, just a frequent flyer, but I noticed another airplane that is similar in appearance and that is the Pilatus. I'm sure there are many differences, care to advise on that?
Pilatus PC12 is significantly bigger, but a bit slower. It also has a lavatory (really a glorified bucket, but still handy) and can carry more people/stuff. I love that plane too! :)
John, the most obvious similarities- the same PT6 engine, and both are single pilot. Differences: The pliatus pc-12 is bigger, significantly slower - 50 MPH, has a lower service ceiling, and is less efficient fuel-wise. On the flip side, the Pilatus has a higher useful load and more seats, and arguably a better safety record than the TBM series. As flying magazine says, TBM is the ferrari, Pilatus pc-12 is the range rover. Both super-desirable! I'd take either, though the TBM is sexier...
Par5Eagles And you can load the PC12 with a forklift and land it on unimproved runways.
How did you land with your fm radio still playing music!! I almost hate it when someone I'd talking on the radio and I'm on short finals😂
I'm good at ignoring it :)
Very nice video :-)
Sweet !! JDW
Nice
nice landing center lined it well...
nice song choices!
Hello to you in your TBM900 sir !! Truely is a fast high performance aircraft that flying is all about knowledge and communication and staying ahead of your power settings to cruise to landing and if this is your first time flying the 900 well you did a great job and I'll be there for the next time in the rightseat with you.
Great video Jason! Quick question. At about how many hours did you feel comfortable flying the TBM solo? I am a Commercial/Multi/Instrument pilot but have pretty much stuck with and loved our Bonanza but have been craving more speed lately since we live in North Carolina but have family in Ohio and make frequent 300+nm xc's. How was the transition from what you flew before the TBM? Thanks for sharing the great vids!
At around 20-25 hours I was feeling pretty comfortable. I had 500 hours with the G1000 already (1000 overall) so that helped I believe. The transition was fun, and I enjoyed the week long class at SimCom. We too have longer trips so wanted a faster plane with longer legs that could go over most of the weather.
Thanks for the reply! I am a big G1000 fan. Made getting my Instrument ticket much easier years ago. I look forward to seeing more videos in the future.
Great taste in music and aircraft! Thanks for sharing!! 500th sub!! :) So, the TBM 900 comes with the Garmin G1000 or 3000 ?
G1000 for the TBM900 and G3000 for the TBM930
Have you installed by chance the Garmin G3000?
good job jason
Hi! Cool plane!
Are the pen holders under the glare shield something you added or is TBM so smart that they came with the plane? If you added them what are they? Where did you get them?
I think they are put it at the factory, but not 100% - there were already installed when I bought the plane used. Similar to this but riveted onto the glare shield www.amazon.com/dp/B01GJ08URE/ref=asc_df_B01GJ08URE5115775/
Thanks! I love watching your videos!
A piece of nice aeronautical engineering......
What did you do, shift into park? Looks like a gear shifter on a car. That's crazy..
Just subscribed Jason...lets see where you take us!
Great video! But I have serious doubts about forward visibility in the TBM 900. Looks like you can't really see over the coaming
Yeah, you can put the seat where you like it, but I have started working it as low as I can - maybe I went too low, but I didn't notice it myself. :)
Good music
Nice touchdown
Sorry for the dumb question but what is the black bulbous thing that sticks out on the leading edge of the left wing?
That is the radome, houses the weather radar inside.
Great video (rattling aside), incredible airplane. Was that Austin Exec? Your aircraft?
Thanks! Yeah, that's KEDC, Austin Executive - nice airport.
"Your aircraft?" Is that a serious question? He was flying a Boing. LOL (Hint-Read the title)
Dave Depilot 'boing'? That's the sound a spring makes. Do the letters FO mean anything to you?
Gobs of power....
Hi jason, I am a pilot of TBM850, TH549 here in brazil ....
Would be possible you let me know wich is this checklist you are using on the IPAD ?
Sure, I'm using a custom one I made based on the one that is built into ForeFlight Mobile
@@JasonFlies Thanks a Lot Jason ... I will try to make somthing like you did,
I have a paper checklist on the airplane but isn´t soo nice .... always missing something,
on the ipad is really better ! once again, Thanks a Lot
What's the story here? Is this your personal AC or do you fly for someone? Beautiful plane either way. I have been saving for one myself. I am currently about 4 million short. It will be a few years.
Nice 👍. How many solos since this one?
5 more so far! :)
My favorite airplane! One day!!!!!! ❤️
Nice job Miles and Congrats. BTW, do not feel the need to include music in every second of non-activity. People who enjoy flight vlogs would rather hear engine and wind noise than inane music. thanks...
understood, there was nothing else to hear though, just the music that was on the intercom :)
If he did that you wouldn't hear the comm...he's listening to music in his headset.
@@JasonFlies you could isolate the music to the pilot and plug the recorder into the passenger jack. Awesome video!
nice TBM900 I would like to fly
NICE plane... looks like a hand full of glass panel.... nothing like my '78 172 (lol).
Hi what check list are u using in the iPad.?
Using ForeFlight - has a checklist from the POH built-in for the 900, but I converted it based on my notes/training at SimCom to simplify and add personal reminders.
The next time you put it in the hanger it would be good to see your electric tug selection and also the battery disconnect procedure. Thank you
idk if you still look at your comments, but if you do what made you chose that plan for that price over other options
Why did I chose that plane? Was a good fit for the missions I fly - 4 or less people on trips around 600-800nm typically. It's fast but with a relatively low operating cost, and I wanted a turbine for smoothness, power, and reliability but one that would go into fairly short runways nicely.
Jason Miller ok, heading all of that makes sense. I am trying to get back into flying and want to get my own plane soon. I want to save up for a piper arrow. Also been watching your videos lately and I love the simulator videos too. Hope you keep it up.
@@HyperShift Thanks so much! I have about 11 hours in an Arrow and really liked it. For some reason I found it really easy to land softly, never knew why, but I liked that too!
No more videos? We know you and your team are working hard on ForeFlight!
:) I do need to get to work on another video!
Yes, its cool to see videos from another person in the same area.
😥 wish I had the money to fly the TBM. I barely have enough to finish my private.
How many hours did you have before you moved up into the TBM?
a bit over 1000, mostly in a Cirrus
If I had the money for the fuel, Id say come pick me up and lets fly. :) I do not think I will ever own a turbo prop, but will be getting my ppl soon and buying a poor man plane in a year or so. :)
You’ll have just as much fun in a poor mans plane
Max Nicely And it matters not what airplane you have, you’ll always yearn for more.
:)),,, no gtx345 ?
How many hours of type rating before soloing?
Just to be clear, there is no official "type rating" for a turboprop, but insurance did require me to get 25 hours of mentor time, plus do structured training for a week at SimCom (which was a lot of fun).
Oh, I see, that's a lot of training, thx! Blue skies! I flew solo within 15 hours in a Cessna 152. BTW, which type you were flying before this wonderful turbo prop?
Hi, Jason. So, how many hours did you have prior to getting your TBM? I read somewhere that TBM requires that you have at least 500 hours of flying before being able to get a TBM. How far is that true?
Jason TBM No type rating for a turboprop so long as its max gross weight doesn’t exceed 12,500 pounds (which the TBM does not). On another note, I did my initial training for my Conquest II at SimCom. I’ll just say I’ll go elsewhere for my recurrent training.
Also have 900 :) Fort Lauderdale
make a video
This plane is so easy to fly , only the throttle is very responsive .
Whats the white box for on your dashboard
A Stratus 2S for the ForeFlight app to get weather and traffic www.sportys.com/pilotshop/stratus-2s-ads-b-receiver-for-ipad.html
Thank you very much for your quick response and i really enjoy your videos. Please keep all of those videos coming and thank you for sharing
When you bought the stratus 2 did it come with a free subscription service to foreflight, reason for asking is the price of the stratus
No package deal there. There is a cheaper Stratus too though, the 1S, for what its worth.
Do you happen to off hand know the difference between the 1 - 2s
I wonder if the Smashing Pumpkins had their people file a copyright claim on this video so they could run ads on your video and claim revenue.
I'm dreaming of a day that I can get a TBM 930. I hope my business succeeds and I can afford to put one on the company credit card.... regain my currency and my ratings and do the training and enjoy that sweet ride in a rocket ship of an airplane...
Cool plane though
Lovely plane........
But when do you get to fly it?
Seems like you are required to have a degree in computer science 😎
Is this a toy or a business tool?
ExtremeRecluse why not both?! 😀 I use it for personal and business trips. It’s terrific for both
Jason, Seeing so many positive comments makes me hesitant to say anything less but.........I notice you are not afraid of high tech (you even use I-pad for check lists) but I am! I would want at least a couple of steam gauges for back up rather than a total "glass cockpit" like you have. It's making me look seriously at a tbm850 instead of 900 ! I also prefer the 850's engine control quadrant! Your nervousness is obvious in your voice and shaking hands (see fuel filter inspection hatch door closing). I would like to see many more hours of solo before you take wife and kids with you. Already too late for that but.......
On the glass cockpit: the only failures I have had in my flying since 1993 have been steam gages, so (knock on wood) I believe the solid state stuff to be better. This plane has 4 independent AHRS (if I count my Stratus), 2 power generation systems, and 3 independent batteries backing those up. That's a level of redundancy I have never had before. Plus having no vacuum system driving them is a good thing.
Nervousness: huh, I have always been a little shaky so that is just part of normal-me. The fuel filter door thing was an exception: I cut out the part where I was fighting that door for 2 minutes trying to get it to latch, while filming and pushing from an odd angle. I have since learned the trick to getting it to latch without so much fighting. :) I wasn't flying that day anyway, so had no reason to be nervous.
I was certainly keyed up for my first solo, wanted to make sure I did a good job. That was after 25 hours of sim time and 25 hours of mentor time, so I was well prepared and feeling totally ready, but there's nothing like doing it for real by yourself! Everyone should judge that for themselves obviously, and anyone that favors extra instructor time gets a thumbs up in my book. I flew with 3 different instructors during my training which was also helpful - multiple perspectives on things. Also, having already had lots of time with the G1000 avionics in previous airplanes gave me a boost in the training, I could focus my education on the airplane and not the panel. I hear that adds a lot of training time if you are new to that equipment.
How in the tits did you get 3.8 million dollars for one of these beauties?
Nice
