That sort of performance is quite incredible...

I often fly home from California 1200 NM and land with 2 hours of fuel so it's not an unusual capability. Sitting in the cockpit that long is not much fun I'll bet. I wish I could do it more often nonstop going the other way.

TBM drivers go and sit in the back on long flights and use the remote PTT switch. So I’ve been told......

A former TBM owner told me there was no reason to worry about RVSM. I file and fly FL300-310 more frequently than not for range, winds, weather, etc. but you have just demonstrated the best reason for 310 - nonstop!

I recently flew west to Montana. About 1100 miles.......we flew nonstop. Obviously depends on winds. Headwinds averaged about 25 knots. Landed with 82 gallons of fuel.

Speaking for myself only.... by the time one can afford a TBM you are too old and stiff to leave the pilot seat. Given our average mission is an hour or less we could have bought a lot more airplane for the dollars spent, but this amazing machine excels on the normal short mission but is flexible enough for the long. What else goes 1883nm using 225 gallons of fuel with 3 people luggage, for two weeks, and 186 pounds under gross on takeoff.

700nm, 5 people; their luggage, ski equipment, a coffee machine (don't ask), helmets and boots...
700nm, and burned 170 gals of fuel that cost $3.00/gal. 2+20. (that was the leg up). So, about the coffee machine..... Where do you ski that doesn’t have the $3000 coffee machine????
