Daher has announced the TBM 910, succeeding the TBM 900 version with the incorporation of a next-generation integrated flight deck, along cabin interior and safety enhancements.
Unveiled at Sun 'n Fun, Daher’s TBM 910 offers key changes including the Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck, which succeeds the G1000 version on TBM 900s. An enriched “feel” with the flight deck’s new keyboard joystick gives more accurate panning and fluid navigation on the multi-function display pages. The TBM 910’s cabin interior features new seat shapes and additional fittings that are identical to the TBM 930. A report from AUVSI indicates that nearly 90 percent of the waivers granted by the FAA under Part 107 went to small businesses. Most of the waivers allow businesses to operate UAS at night, which is not permitted under the current rule. The report also finds that businesses in 44 states received waivers in the first six months since the rule took effect. “Whether inspecting infrastructure or surveying crop yields, there is clear evidence that America’s small businesses are leading the way in embracing the capabilities and benefits of UAS,” says Brian
Wynne, president and CEO of AUVSI. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin made history again on Sunday when he became the oldest person to fly with the USAF Thunderbirds at the age of 87. Aldrin was prepped for the flight just before 1000 local time Sunday morning. He flew with the team for about 20 minutes likely at speeds approaching 700 miles per hour, according to Orlando Melbourne International Airport executive director Greg Donovan. Before donning his flight suit, Aldrin was spotted wearing a t-shirt saying "Get Your Ass To Mars." Aldrin has been a strong proponent of NASA or a private company mounting a mission to the Red Planet. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
