Thanks for insight!
My TBM was an 25 yr old “A model” with an upgraded Garmin panel. Not as fancy as the Autothrottle/ Autoland features of the 960! I did get spoiled with the Garmin GFC 600 autopilot. Doesn’t look like a newer digital autopilot is in the Skymasters future from the reading I’ve done. Thanks again. Greg

I bet it is a very nice TBM; I don't know if there is a TBM that isn't nice!
Yes, unfortunately, I think the 337 is dead as far as a replacement AP goes.

I fly a normally aspirated 337G. My caution is not to try to retract the flaps until the gear is fully retracted and the power pack is off. I tried this before and the electrical load from the power pack and the flaps combined popped the power pack breaker, leaving the gear doors partially open. I have subsequently installed a "gear in transit" warning light on the panel which illuminates until all gear doors close.

Two more cents
Turbo RSTOL 337
Based at www.potomac-airfield.com KVKX 2665 x 40 ft, surrounded by tall trees, deep in a valley, surrounded by surface to air defenses around Washington DC... (While 'encouraging' a rapid climb, I don't think they actually affect climb rate). 1/3 to 2/3 flaps (RSTOL) Max power. Begin roll. Once in a positive climb bring RPM back 'just a hair' Don't touch throttles. You will clearly hear the grinding supersonic prop tips' 'suddenly go 'quiet" Try that in level flight somewhere. You'll hear it, I don't touch anything else until 500ft or more. Then gear. Then flaps.
