The flight departed in visual meteorological conditions and entered instrument meteorological conditions while climbing through 12,800 feet. The air traffic controller advised the pilot of moderate rime icing from 15,000 feet through 17,000 feet, with light rime ice at 14,000 feet. The controller asked the pilot to advise him if the icing worsened, and the pilot responded that he would let them know and that it was no problem for him. The controller informed the pilot that he was coordinating for a higher altitude. The pilot confirmed that, while at 16,800 feet, "…light icing has been present for a little while and a higher altitude would be great." About 15 seconds later, the pilot stated that he was getting a little rattle and requested a higher altitude as soon as possible. About 25 seconds after that, the flight was cleared to flight level 200, and the pilot acknowledged. About one minute later, the airplane reached a peak altitude of 17,800 feet before turning sharply to the left and entering a descent. While descending through 17,400 feet, the pilot stated, "and N731CA's declaring…" No subsequent transmissions were received from the flight.

  • AVIATION WEEK Pilot Report: Daher Socata TBM 900 We Fly the Fastest Civil Single-Engine Turboprop May 22, 2014 Fred George | Shownews
    AVIATION WEEK Pilot Report: Daher Socata TBM 900 We fly the fastest civil single-engine turboprop May 22, 2014 Fred George | ShowNews A 325-kt cruise speed may seem slow by light jet standards, but it’s pretty impressive when the aircraft you’re flying only is burning 400 lb. per hour. Daher-Socata’s TBM 900, the latest iteration of the TBM 700, is at least 14 kt faster than TBM 850, based on our flying both aircraft back-to-back. It also needs less runway and climbs faster, plus it uses less fuel and is quieter both inside and outside. Last Thursday, we strapped into the left seat of TBM 900 S/N 1014 with Daher- Socata’s chief pilot Stéphane Jacques at the firm’s plant in Tarbes, France, for a two- hour evaluation of the myriad improvements wrapped into the new model. The preflight walk-around revealed much about what makes the aircraft faster and quieter than its predecessor. Most obvious are the aircraft’s new composite Hartzell five- blade prop and winglets. The Hartzell five-blade incorporates the latest 3-D aero computer modeling, one that analyzes the airflow of the prop around the nose of the aircraft. Socata officials say they looked closely at an advanced prop from MT-Propeller but opted for the Hartzell because the aircraft cruises 3 to 5 kt faster. The winglets were designed in-house at Socata. Their principal benefit is drag reduction at the higher angles of attack encountered during takeoff and climb. They also were added for aesthetic value.
