Just seemed strange. I have about 4500hrs sitting between PT6s and the Twotter and Bandit fuel pumps were inaudible in the cockpit. Electric fuel pump is on manual for the start, then gets switched to auto. In auto mode it will never turn on unless the mechanical pump pressure drops below 10 psi. My guess is on a twin the pump just as loud but far enough away you don't hear it.

Prop stays at 2000 rpm unless feathered. The 900's have a sideways throttle gate for condition mode, first position is feather then hi idle, low idle, cutoff. In the 700/850 there is no reason to bring prop back from 2000 rpm except for reduced noise. I don't know anyone that does that, most just leave it at 2000 until feather at shutdown.

Lower pitch, not lower volume, but that might just be my perception as I have not tried to measure it yet. Does it matter if it is a 4 or 5 blade prop?

I have brought the Prop RPM back in the 850 to 1700 to see if if was noticeably quieter-- it was not. it was just a lower frequency. and it gave up about 7 knots. so I leave it at 2000.
the fuel pump noise, as mentioned, is only during start. it's a Weldon fuel pump- similar to what's in an A36 IIRC.

I've messed around with it a bit, but have never really nailed down the power setting after the break (usually end up too high in the downwind). from the 180 it's easy- about 27% power around the corner, then 8-10% on short final seems to work to get me at 87-90 over the numbers. I always try to land with >5% power- makes a much smoother landing. The TBM will show you if you suck at landing; it's STIFF.

FWIW- these 2 pilots probably have more than 6K hrs in the Mustang combined. They have been flying together since the early 90s. In this video done back in 09 at Duxford, UK, Jim, who is flying the TBM in the photo I posted, is flying lead with the Yellow nose. Ed, who is flying Bald Eagle in the photo I posted, is left wing in BBD with Black and White nose. [youtube]https://youtu.be/m8TmyiHwiw8[/youtube]

I had another fun conversation with ATC this week. Coming in to Tallahassee I was given the ILS 27 and about 20 miles before the IAF I hear: TLH Approach: TBM 0MB - you are number 2 for runway 27 and you are currently going more than 10x faster than the traffic ahead. Me: Ok, what speed do you need? TLH Approach: The traffic is an airship on a 10 mi final doing 30kts. Me: Wow, I can't do that but I can give you 100kias. I probably could have beat them to the field but I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't ask. Side note - not sure if airships are IFR capable, last reported bases before my arrival were 600 AGL.

I am constantly amazed that I can fly 250 to a 7mi final, and still cross the numbers at 90 kts. It’s nuts. And it’s not necessarily the speed (although I love that); it’s the ability to slow down in no time. We are spoiled!
