PA-46 & TBM Accident Analysis: What the Data Reveals | Part 1

What can hundreds of accident reports teach us about flying the PA-46 and TBM more safely?

In Part 1 of this two-part series, Joe sits down with David Forster, who reviewed and categorized every available NTSB accident report involving PA-46 and TBM aircraft. Together, they examine what the data reveals about emergency landings, engine failures, stall-spin accidents, spatial disorientation, and the critical role of pilot training.

They also discuss the limitations of accident data, the real people behind each report, and how learning from these events can help prevent the next accident.

Part 2 continues next week with additional accident categories and important safety lessons for PA-46 and TBM pilots.
