The Beechcraft Baron G58 is the only piston twin here, fitting the “personal/light business” category with roughly 1,000–1,500 nm typical range and usually 4–5 passengers plus a pilot in real comfort (up to 6 seats, payload dependent). The Piper M500 is an entry-level single-engine turboprop, generally “personal/owner-flown turboprop,” with about 1,000–1,300 nm range and typically 4–5 passengers (up to 5 plus pilot). Stepping up, the Daher TBM 940 is a high-performance single turboprop optimized for fast owner travel, commonly around 1,500–1,700 nm range and typically 4–5 passengers (up to 6 seats including pilot). The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a utility/light business turboprop with more cabin volume and payload, typically about 1,500–1,800 nm range and commonly 6–8 passengers (up to about 9). The Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a very light jet aimed at owner-pilots, with about 1,200–1,500 nm range and usually 3–5 passengers (up to 5 plus pilot). The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer, larger single-engine turboprop in the light business class, expected around 1,500–1,600 nm range with typically 6–8 passengers.
