Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Robinson R66

The Airbus H225 is a heavy, twin‑engine helicopter suited to offshore, search‑and‑rescue, and utility missions. It carries the most people of this group, commonly around 16–19 passengers in transport layouts, and offers long helicopter range (roughly 450–600+ nautical miles depending on fit and reserves), with the advantage of vertical lift but higher operating complexity and cost. The Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter aimed at personal, training, and light utility work. Passenger capacity is typically 4–5 including the pilot, and range is moderate for a helicopter (about 300–350 nautical miles). The Pilatus PC‑24 is a twin‑engine light jet focused on fast point‑to‑point travel and flexible runway access. It usually seats about 6–10 passengers (often 6–8 in executive use) and has the longest range here at roughly 1,700–2,000 nautical miles. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop positioned for owner‑pilots. It typically carries 4–6 passengers plus a pilot and offers solid range around 1,200–1,500 nautical miles.
