Home Safe System

Flying with Confidence: How the TBM 960’s HomeSafe™ System Redefines Passenger Safety

At Huginn Aviation, safety is a core value and always at the forefront of what we do—and it is innovations like the HomeSafe™ Emergency Autoland System that are reshaping expectations in general aviation. Found onboard the Daher TBM 960, HomeSafe™ is not just an impressive system — it’s peace of mind.

Imagine this: you’re flying sitting comfortably in the luxurious seat of the TBM 960, enjoying the view from 28,000 feet and the quiet hum of the engine onboard one of the world’s most advanced turboprops. Suddenly, the pilot becomes incapacitated. It’s a scenario no one wants to consider—but thanks to HomeSafe™, it’s a scenario that can now have a safe and reassuring outcome.

Developed by Garmin and integrated into the TBM 960, HomeSafe™ is an emergency autoland system designed to take full control of the aircraft and guide it to a safe landing—all with the push of a single button.

For a passenger with no flying experience, this means:
• Instant Response: At the press of the clearly marked HomeSafe™ button, the system engages autopilot, evaluates the nearest suitable airport, communicates with air traffic control, and begins the descent.
• Fully Automated Landing: The aircraft configures flaps, gear, and descent profiles, then executes a fully autonomous landing and engine shutdown—without any pilot input.
• Real-Time Updates: Passengers are kept informed through the Garmin G3000 avionics interface, which displays step-by-step updates and clear instructions.

Why This Matters to Passengers?

For many passengers new to private aviation, safety is always a primary concern. While experienced pilots and top-tier maintenance practices go a long way, knowing that the aircraft itself can take command in an emergency adds a whole new layer of reassurance. The TBM 960’s HomeSafe™ system turns an unthinkable situation into a survivable one, even for someone who has never set foot in a cockpit before.

This technology represents a shift in how we view general aviation safety—not just from the pilot’s perspective, but through the eyes of those in the back seats. It’s about empowering passengers, providing comfort through redundancy, and ensuring that advanced safety systems are no longer a luxury, but a standard.

At Huginn Aviation, we believe the future of flying is smarter, safer, and more passenger-focused. The HomeSafe™ system in the TBM 960 is a perfect example of that future made real.

Whether you’re a seasoned aviator or a first-time passenger, the TBM 960 offers not just top-level performance and luxury—but the kind of intelligent safety that lets you fly with complete peace of mind.
