Daher, manufacturer of the TBM very fast turboprop aircraft family - the TBM 900 and TBM 930 - and Jeppesen, have announced an agreement to bundle Jeppesen NavData and digital charts with the delivery of new Daher TBM very fast turboprop aircraft.

The service, unveiled at NBAA BACE, eliminates the need for pilots to purchase avionics data packages on their own, as selected navigation data will be onboard and ready to use at the point of delivery.

Taking effect in 2017, the subscription will be activated at Daher’s delivery of new TBM aircraft.

“Daher customers expect the top aircraft technology and performance available, and our partnership with Jeppesen enhances this capability through pre-loaded navigation data and charts,” said Nicolas Chabbert, Senior Vice President of the Daher Airplane Business Unit. “Our goal is to provide customers with a premier, customized experience when investing in an aircraft purchase, and the agreement helps us to deliver on this promise.”

Through the agreement, Jeppesen will supply NavData and digital charts for TBM 900 and TBM 930 aircraft. In addition to the bundled Jeppesen data options available with the purchase of Daher aircraft, the acquisition of TBMs with Garmin’s G1000/G3000 integrated flight deck provides the choice of PilotPak data that incorporates supplemental databases - including SafeTaxi, airport diagrams, as well as obstacle and terrain data.

“Daher is a globally-established aircraft manufacturer that pilots recognize for providing a high-end flying experience,” said Reggie Arsenault, Director of Jeppesen General Aviation Client Management. “We are pleased to partner with Daher to offer multiple flight data bundle services to meet the specific requirements of each pilot as they take to the skies in their new Daher aircraft.”
