TBM 850 Day Rate
 

Looking for a ballpark day rate for a new TBM 850 in the midwest.

low end is 41k, mid is 49k, and high is 60k, for a yearly salary breakdown. based on that I would say 300-400 per day, IMO

$500/day is what we charge in Indiana, we're a Socata dealer. I also know of several contract guys charging this rate.

Wow! :eek:


I was guessing around 300 - 350.

All pilots are ATP, lots of turbine experience. I know a freelance guy that does this up in the Battle Creek area. The local DPE here flies for a guy for that rate(Be20, Starship experienced), and another contract Piaggio guy that flies Meridians/TBM's for that rate. Also down in Chattanooga met a contract Meridian/Be20 guy for that rate also, maybe his was $450, but thinking it was $500

There can't be THAT many guys out there who easily meet insurance PIC requirements on that particular airframe...

That was a day rate in a Saratoga in Louisiana, just as a reference.

I get 300/day for the TBM850G. But the guy paid for my training and I'm now on his insurance. Anybody in the North East need a pilot?

You are getting underpaid, regardless of who paid for your training.

A 10yr loan on a $3mil airplane is $30-35k+ a month! They can afford it.
