Beechcraft Baron G58 vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a piston twin in the light-aircraft category, best for shorter regional trips, typically carrying about four to five passengers in practical comfort (up to six including the pilot) with a range on the order of roughly 1,000–1,300 nm depending on configuration and reserves. The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a utility single-engine turboprop aimed at rugged, short-field work; it usually seats around eight to nine (including pilot) and offers moderate range, commonly around 1,000–1,200 nm. The Beechcraft King Air Denali and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are pressurized single-engine turboprops in the high-performance utility/executive class; both generally carry six to nine occupants with longer legs, typically about 1,500–1,800 nm. The Daher TBM 910 and TBM 960 are high-speed single-engine turboprops optimized for owner-pilot business travel; they usually seat four to six passengers plus pilot, with ranges commonly around 1,500–1,700+ nm, and the TBM 960 adds more efficiency and refinement over the 910 rather than a major capacity change.
