The main change for the latest version of the aircraft is in the cockpit, which now sports Garmin’s third-generation G3000 Prime avionics suite, while the cabin features enhancements for passenger comfort. EASA has issued airworthiness certification for the new TBM model, and this approval has been validated by the FAA. The first TBM 980 delivery is planned for January 28.
