AGENDA OF EVENTS

Thursday, December 3, 2026
Arrival and Lunch on the Ramp12:00 PM - 1:00 PMWhere: Daher KPMP Service Center, Pompano Beach. Fly into KPMP before lunch and eat on the ramp (food truck or catered), with our "Go/No-Go" mocktail.
Maintenance Workshop in the Hangar1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Where: Daher KPMP Service Center, Pompano Beach. Led by Alex Prem of Daher. This is hands-on, at real TBMs with the cowlings open, not slides. You'll work in a small group and rotate between stations, each run by a Daher technician: engine and propeller up front, then the cabin, wings and landing gear. Every station has something to do with your hands, real parts to hold, and a few challenge questions with a prize for the first right answer. It all comes back to one question: what should you check on your airplane when it comes back from maintenance? Starts with a short welcome and ramp safety briefing.

Ask Daher Anything3:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Where: Daher KPMP Service Center. An open Q&A with a Daher expert in the hangar to close out the workshop. Bring your questions about your TBM, service and what's coming next.
