Daher-Socata introduces TBM850 Elite which offers flexibility while providing performance: The middle seats have the capability to be positioned in either the rearward or forward facing position. Passengers once confined to the cabin now become involved in the flight; furthermore, the new configuration provides extended cargo space to accommodate oversized baggage.

In the 4 seat-forward-facing configuration, the rear seats are removed to create immediate and obstacle-free access to all luggage areas. For missions with multiple pieces of baggage, the ‘Petit Filet’ (small cargo net) compliments the normal internal baggage compartment by providing additional baggage space. Long, bulky items such as golf bags can be secured by the ‘Grand Filet,’ which essentially unites the rear baggage compartment and the extended baggage area under one large cargo net. When it comes to being user-friendly, the new TBM 850 ‘Elite’ gets right to the point — quick and easy.
