TBM 700 operators' annual conference took place on May 13-14 in the Atlantis Hotel, Paradise Island (Bahamas). The well-attended meeting was organised by Socata Aircraft, US subsidiary of the TBM 700 manufacturer, and played host to forums and debates with TBM suppliers (including Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell and Hartzell), repair stations, flight training organisations and TBM pilots and owners.

Most of the participants flew to the Bahamas convention with their aircraft, creating the biggest gathering of TBM 700 to date - 20 in all were present at Nassau International Airport on Saturday, May 13.
