Daher Aircraft Launches Me & My Kodiak and TBM App Version 8

This article is based on an official press release from Daher Aircraft.

Daher Aircraft has officially launched its new “Me & My Kodiak” application alongside the eighth version of its established “Me & My TBM” app. Announced at the SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, on April 14, 2026, the digital tools aim to bolster connected aircraft operations for the manufacturer’s growing fleet of owner-flown turboprops.

According to the company’s press release, these applications are designed to provide operators with real-time aircraft data, seamless access to critical documentation, and direct connectivity to Daher’s support ecosystem. The move represents a significant step in modernizing the ownership and piloting experience for both Kodiak and TBM operators.

By leveraging advanced datalink technologies, Daher is enabling pilots to monitor their aircraft remotely, streamlining preflight preparations and enhancing overall operational awareness before they even step onto the tarmac.

Introducing the Me & My Kodiak App

The newly introduced Me & My Kodiak application, now available in its V1 iteration, serves as a dedicated digital companion for Kodiak operators. As detailed in the official release, the app brings a suite of connectivity features previously unavailable to the Kodiak family in such a streamlined, mobile-friendly format.

Remote Monitoring and Documentation

A standout feature of the new app is its Remote Aircraft Status capability. Utilizing the Garmin PlaneSync™ connected aircraft management system and the GDL 60 datalink, pilots can “wake up” their Kodiak remotely. The press release notes that this allows users to check essential parameters, such as oil temperature, battery and essential bus voltage, TKS deicing fluid levels, fuel quantity, oxygen pressure, door status, and database status, from anywhere.

Additionally, the app includes a “My Docs” section that provides both online and offline access to crucial technical publications. Operators can easily reference Airplane Information Manuals, checklists, maintenance manuals, and service bulletins. The app also integrates direct access to the Daher Care customer support team, facilitating rapid Aircraft on Ground (AOG) reporting.

“With the Me & My Kodiak application’s introduction, and the continued evolution of the Me & My TBM app, Daher Aircraft is advancing its digital resources to enhance connectivity, simplify operations, and support safe flying for the growing Daher aviator community,” explained Nicolas Chabbert, the CEO of Daher Aircraft.

Evolution of the Me & My TBM App

Alongside the Kodiak announcement, Daher unveiled Version 8 of its Me & My TBM application. Originally launched in 2018, the TBM app has seen widespread adoption, currently boasting more than 400 active users worldwide, according to the company’s press release.

New Features in Version 8

Building on its foundational post-flight data analysis capabilities, which heavily focus on stabilized approaches, V8 introduces real-time remote monitoring mirroring the Kodiak app. TBM operators can now utilize PlaneSync™ and the GDL 60 datalink to check fuel levels, outside air temperature, battery status, and database updates remotely.

The update also brings practical improvements to flight logging and document management. Daher states that the app now features enhanced tracking for flight hours, allowing users to differentiate between total aircraft hours, ownership-specific hours, and pilot-specific usage. Furthermore, a newly embedded PDF viewer optimizes the performance of large technical documents, ensuring a smoother reading experience for operators.

“The Me & My TBM and Me & My Kodiak applications provide operators with a comprehensive digital environment that supports them before, during, and after each flight,” said Marie Souffez, the Customer and Digital Support Coordinator at Daher Aircraft.

Strategic Implications for General Aviation

AirPro News analysis

We view Daher’s dual-app announcement as a clear indicator of the general aviation industry’s broader shift toward integrated digital ecosystems. By standardizing the digital experience across both the TBM and Kodiak lines, Daher is not only adding value for current owners but also creating a cohesive brand experience that could drive loyalty among operators looking to step up or cross over within the Daher family.

The integration of Garmin’s PlaneSync technology is particularly noteworthy. As remote connectivity becomes an expectation rather than a luxury in modern aviation, manufacturers who seamlessly integrate these capabilities into proprietary, user-friendly interfaces will likely hold a competitive edge in the owner-flown turboprop market. This move transitions the aircraft from a standalone machine into a fully connected node within the pilot’s daily digital life.
