Beechcraft Baron G58 vs Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Cessna 172 Skyhawk vs Cessna 182 Skylane vs Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair vs Cessna Caravan vs Piper Seneca

The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is a high-performance single‑engine piston in the personal/business category, typically seating six with a midrange cross‑country reach (roughly 700–900 nm). The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a light twin piston aimed at faster, more redundant personal/business travel; it usually seats five to six and has similar or slightly longer practical range (about 800–1,000 nm), depending on reserves and payload. The Cessna Skyhawk (172) is a basic four‑seat trainer and personal airplane with shorter range (around 500–700 nm). The Cessna Skylane (182) is a higher‑power four‑seat personal/utility single with better payload and range (about 700–900 nm). The Cessna Turbo Stationair (206) is a utility single commonly configured for six, optimized for load-hauling with moderate range (roughly 600–900 nm). The Cessna Caravan (208) is a single‑engine turboprop utility/commuter aircraft, typically 9–14 seats, with about 800–1,200 nm range. The Piper Seneca is a light twin piston in the same general class as the Baron, usually six seats and roughly 700–1,000 nm range.
