Beechcraft Baron G58 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a piston twin in the light personal/business category, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers with a range on the order of roughly 1,000–1,300 nm depending on configuration and reserves. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet aimed at versatile regional business travel, usually seating about 6–10 passengers with a typical range around 2,000 nm. The Beechcraft King Air 360 is a twin‑turboprop in the small/medium business aircraft category, commonly configured for about 6–9 passengers and offering roughly 1,500–1,800 nm of range. Gulfstream’s G500 and G600 are long-range large-cabin business jets. The G500 generally accommodates about 12–16 passengers with a range around 5,000–5,300 nm, while the larger G600 typically carries a similar 12–17 passengers but stretches range to about 6,500 nm. In short, capability steps up from the Baron (short-range piston) to the King Air and PC‑24 (regional turboprop/light jet) to the G500/G600 (intercontinental large-cabin jets).
