One of the biggest complaints Mooney has heard from its thousands of M20 customers is the lack of a left-side door. While adding a second door to a decades-old design is no easy feat, the company listened to the feedback. In February, Mooney announced the M20V Acclaim Ultra, which has a new composite skin to […]

Daher once again surprised the aviation world last week by announcing a new model of the TBM single-engine turboprop — a model that is already FAA and EASA certified. The TBM 930 was announced at a press conference at the company’s Sun ‘n Fun exhibit as the cover was taken off the new model to […]

Daher, maker of the TBM 900 single-engine turboprop, unveiled the newest model in its of line business turboprops on Tuesday. But don’t expect to be able to walk over to the Daher exhibit at Sun ‘n Fun for a gander at the new TBM 930. The latest TBM model with Garmin G3000 touch-screen avionics is […]

Nextant Aerospace has received FAA certification for the G90XT, a remanufactured Beechcraft twin turboprop with GE H75 engines, an avionics suite based on Garmin’s G1000 and new paint and interior.

As a brand, “Cessna Citation” conjures up a sense of solidity, of reliability, of conservatism, tradition and value. Utility trumps flash, the tried-and-true takes precedence over the new, and proven service wins out over promises.

The iconic Kansas-based airplane maker has turned out more than 40,000 of the sheet-metal birds since the model’s debut in 1956, and the utilitarian singles continue to roll down the line and out the […]

On the heels of Piper’s introduction of the Meridian M500 earlier this year, the company on Monday unveiled two additional models to its M-class lineup, the M350 and the Garmin G3000-equipped M600, at an event attended by hundreds of customers and dealers. In addition to its touchscreen G3000 avionics, the big news with the M600 […]

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast. What in the world does that mean? Not only is ADS-B confusing, but it’s expensive too. When all is said and done […]
