Thanks for your time watching, Tom!

Thanks, Jimmy. That must be my CFI skillset. Hard to do at first, but now it's like walking and chewing gum - D'oh!

Where are you based?

⁠@@LookingforHigher Beaumont, KBMT

Thanks for checking this out, Patrick!

I use the silver reflective windows “covers” for shorter stays, but yes the longer stays, you really should have the external canopy covers to protect the glass.

Corbett, yes those were pretty slim odds! Feel free to shoot me a message. My mobile number is on the aerista.com, or email jesse@aerista.com

That’s awesome. Where are you based?

Thanks for watching, Craig!

HAH, nice one!

@@LookingforHigher Ya its one of my favorite aggie jokes...

Ha

I appreciate you watching this video. Thank you!

Thanks for checking my video out, Will. Yeah, that’s a pretty awesome restaurant…great amenity. I remember back in the day I’d fly from SSF to CLL just to go to Freebirds. My, have times changed 😆

Those early 850’s are a great too! Same engine, and many being retrofitted with Garmin glass.

Thank you for watching.

You are correct! Any pilot will easily pick up on the callsign, but figured I’d do some concealment on the “book ends” to avoid the bots, or repurposed screenshots. Thanks for watching, Alek!

@@LookingforHigher oh, ok...not something I would have thought of. Thanks. I share your tbm passion with my flight sim.

@@Aleksandar6ix Microsoft Flight Sim is incredible. I actually practiced IFR on it at home (in between lessons).

Buck, thank you for watching!!

Yes, indeed. Any pilot will easily pick up on the callsign, but figured I’d do some concealment on the “book ends” to avoid the bots, or repurposed screenshots.

Thanks a lot for watching the video!!

Thanks for checking out the video! I’ve worked with these planes for years and have gotten opportunities to partner, lease, etc… Ownership isn’t for all of us, but being a pilot could be. Start in the small stuff and work your way up.

@@LookingforHigher i get that. We’ll get there. I don’t have a lot of time to do much right now. Im an owner operator trucker but the market rates are low, fuel costs are high, and freight isn’t plentiful so you have to work 3X as much to meet your income requirements compared to a couple years ago. The market always fluctuates so it’s just surviving now, earning later for more time, such as learning to fly

I'm sure you could start this higher than 150 ITT, but I'd say it's a best practice on the TBM/P46T. Then again, you're doing a momentary dry motor adding fuel at 18%. That's cool...where do you fly out of? Martin Aire?

Thanks for checking this out, David!

Wow, that’s a slick bird… avionics?

@@LookingforHigher It's just now in the shop (Columbia) for the triad of upgrades - G600txi with EIS, dual GTN750xi and GFC600 with Smart Glide etc. Upgrading from the standard Honeywell EFIS, 530/430/GMX200 stack. Should be a new ship when done.

@@jordan65730 NEXT LEVEL!!

@@LookingforHigher Yes indeed - 9th aircraft in 20 some odd years... and it does feel like the next level. Thank you :)

Thanks for checking out my video. I don't get to S. Padre often. Ever in San Antonio?

You're absolutely correct, but Marco Island Executive was really convenient. The overnight fee was a lot too 😕

Thanks a lot for checking it out!

Eh…great question! So, if I drop in beta (zero thrust) and release the brakes, would it roll? I believe it still will, but not nearly with the same thrust. I’ll try it and report back :-/

@@LookingforHigher ooh perfect thank you then. I’ll transmit your feedback, when you’ll do it could you also tell me your weight to have a better idea, thanks !

The smell of arrogance versus "sweat and shame"... This is such a well thought out, masterfully crafted comment, and spot on. LMFAO. I can take credit for Cirrus ownership, but I have use rights and manage the TBM. Yes, hell of a plane, and an "alpha" one at that. The Baron is a real hotrod! I flew for Republic Airways. Who did you fly for? Thanks for checking out my video.

@@LookingforHigher Thank you for the compliment. 14+ yrs at XJT, building time for the majors. Now I'm flying 767s for a bush outfit that's growing like a bush outfit - with paper charts and flip phones. Serious note, very few yt pilots bring the quality of airline-esque training to the screen. You get a high five from me for applying that with your flying; it needs to be more prevalent. I have future plans regarding that. "This Old Baron"

@@ericsd55 Chautauqua. Remember those guys?

@@LookingforHigher Yeah, I could never say their company name without cusin'.

@@ericsd55 I’ve heard them all :-/

Well, thank you sir for watching this video!

Hi Jeff, Thanks for checking out my video! I am a Cirrus SR22 owner and do some dry leasing in this TBM that I also manage. Both the TBM and my Cirrus are G1000 equipped, which is great for continuity…same avionics suite as the G36 - great plane! I am a full time aircraft broker for aerista.com People love the performance and club seating in the Bonanzas, whereas the newer Cirruses G5+ (2013+) have the bench seating in the rear with a 5th seatbelt. As far as being a good first plane to own, I’ll put on my broker and CFI hat… What’s your flight experience and typical mission?

Hell, Saulo. Thanks for watching my video! Which delay are you speaking of; could you share time you saw the delay? If it's a map delay it -must- be the slower processing power of the legacy Garmin G1000 hardware. Many manufacturers (including Daher TBM) offer an upgrade to the all-new NXi, which replaces all legacy hardware, giving it ~5x the processing speed and OLED displays. Pretty sweet!

@@LookingforHigher Exactly what i meant. I just hate how everything is extremely expensive in aviation and it might be very expensive, sad. Anyways, good video, have a blast of a week

Wilco! Thank you, Guys.

Thanks for checking out my video, James! Good question. I’m not sure your level of knowledge in aviation, so I’ll answer thoroughly. I’m authorized by the FAA, but not specifically by the manufacturer. I do not give insurance-required initial/recurrent. However, I occasionally provide “mentor pilot” services. Since a type rating isn’t required for single engine turboprops, it’s usually the insurance companies that dictate more restrictive training and currency than the FAA. Check out my latest video "Turn & Burn" when I give someone some post SimCom transition training. Miguel, while he was deemed okay to fly by the insurance company, I wanted to provide additional training on the nuances of this 850, as he normally flies a 960 that’s much more automated.

I hear you, Levi! I remember being stuck in those Cessnas too. Do you fly for fun, or what’s your plan?

@@LookingforHigher I fly for fun, but I plan on making it my retirement gig. Would love to charter to the Bahamas or something. I’m taking my IFR checkride on September 6th, been trying to get it scheduled for 5 months. Going to take my commercial shortly after.

No, Sir! Commuting home from the commercial airport (torture). I will follow up with a complete reply soon!

I can. TBM is faster. TBM is easier to climb into the pilot seat. TBM is built like a tank. Support for older TBMs is wonderful. TBMs are hard to find these days, contact one of the major distributors (west coast = AVEX). They will help you find one. I own a 700a model, even the earliest is faster than the Piper. No regrets.

I just noticed the video producer is a broker, so give him a call!

Michael, thanks a lot for watching my video! Your question is on point, as the M600 is the first Piper that truly encroaches into TBM territory. In short, Chuck is spot on. To elaborate a little further, the "tank's" armor brings the 850's ramp weight 22% greater than the M600 (or a whopping 45% greater than the standard Meridian!!). The TBM 850 will overcome that, burning 35% more fuel to go 15% faster. This amounts to nearly 50% greater total costs of ownership (annually) - if the plane is maintained to the Daher pedigree, phased inspections. Overall, the P46T (to include the M600) is the ultimate personal/family travel machine. The TBM 850 is the zero compromises, corporate workhorse. It is the 'better' plane, but with the associate costs. NOTE - These cost figures can vary quite a bit, mission dependent (especially at the 1,000+ nm range). jesse@aerista.com if you'd like to communicate further. Congrats on the sale of your Mirage.

World’s okayest pilot here, merely sarcasm…but trying to assert sound principles of regimented standard operating procedures. Thanks for watching!

Subscribe to my channel, and I will add some jazz with a tribute to YOU! Thanks for watching!

I’m a man of my word. For @danielhawley kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oN-Wo7CB3tfQn2g.html

LOL! Do you fly the TBM on a sim? The G1000 feels like a game sometimes!

Thanks for watching! You are correct! Any pilot will easily pick up on the callsign, but figured I’d do some concealment on the “book ends” to avoid the bots, or repurposed screenshots.

Musa, dang good attention to detail. Thanks for watching my video! For rotation of heavy, especially transport category - they do. I'm not sure your level of flight experience, so being thorough with my response. Hand on the power is indeed a very good practice, not to have an unintended "roll back" of power. Flying lighter planes, Cessna, Mooney, Cirrus, you should basically trim the plane for it to rotate with a touch of back pressure. The Meridians, TBM, jets, are normally heavy, a two hand event, especially with varying CGs. Hopefully you trimmed appropriately too... Regardless, in the TBM or a twin jet, I guard the power levers until I'm at V1 (takeoff decision speed) or VR in a single for abort. Otherwise, passing V1/VR respectively, we're flying after that!
