Daher announced at the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In and Expo that it has made further enhancements to its TBM 930. The French single-engine turboprop received the latest upgrade to the Garmin G3000 system, adding the SurfaceWatch alerting system for the runway environment; Baro VNAV, which allows pilots to fly precision approaches based on barometric pressure when the SBAS that is required for WAAS is unavailable; and visual approach capabilities, which provides lateral and vertical guidance based on a three-degree glideslope, to the already highly capable system. The symbology has also been improved.
