Daher Socata has delivered a new TBM 850 turboprop aircraft to the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), which will be used primarily for advanced airline transport pilot (ATP) training courses.

Based at Zaria in Kaduna State, NCAT is a long-time Daher Socata customer - with a fleet of 17 Tampico TB9s for elementary training, five TB20 Trinidad GTs for commercial and instrument training, as well as a cockpit procedure trainer based on TB20 Trinidad GT.

The TBM 850 for NCAT, which is one of Daher Socata's model year 2010 aircraft, will be used for the ab-initio airline transport pilot training course. This course is positioned between the College's multi-engine training phase and its airliner type-rating course, thus preparing the student pilot for high-performance aircraft.
