Ownership Analysis
The TBM 700A, introduced in 1990, is the original TBM production model and the first of the fast pressurized single-engine turboprops, powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-64 (700 shp).
As the oldest TBM variant, the 700A’s value hinges on engine time, program status, avionics upgrades, and airframe history. Pressurization system condition and any applicable service bulletins should be confirmed.
Lenders will focus on engine status and maintenance records; the TBM brand’s strength supports reasonable collateral values even for early airframes. Loan terms fall under the Turboprop & Jet tier.
