Positioning/Ferry

Foresight Aviation offers positioning services for your TBM, whether for routine maintenance, recovery from AOG or weather problems or simply for your convenience. We appreciate that your time is valuable. After all, that’s one of the reasons you bought your TBM. If you love to fly as much as we do, you may want to do this “extra” flying just for fun and we certainly understand; but if business or other commitments get in the way or you are an owner that uses your aircraft more as a “make time” machine and would rather spend your free time on other hobbies or interests, we can help.

Foresight’s pilot services can be especially valuable when your aircraft goes in for maintenance. The direct operating costs (DOC) for positioning your TBM can be a significant portion of the maintenance expense. Therefore it’s important to turn your ship over to a service center with a complete detailed squawk list and take her home only after all squawks are addressed and verified resolved. While Foresight’s assistance can add somewhat to the overall cost of positioning the aircraft for maintenance, we are detail oriented TBM experts and can often save you more than the cost of our services. Our extensive TBM experience and the savvy to logically troubleshoot and narrow the scope of work to resolve your squawks can save you many hours of shop labor, parts expense, as well as the frustration of getting your TBM back with outstanding squawks. We perform particularly detailed and thorough pre- and post-flight inspections when positioning your aircraft to and from a maintenance facility and that means additional peace of mind for you. Though some service centers have in-house FCF (Functional Check Flight) pilots, we can also perform that service for you after maintenance is complete. Though most TBM service centers have excellent quality assurance procedures, Foresight offers you the option of a second set of eyes who’s only priority is to make sure your TBM is both airworthy and safe for flight.

If your TBM is not where it needs to be, call us today and we’ll get it there!
