Beechcraft Baron G58 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a piston twin typically categorized as a light, owner-flown personal aircraft. It offers the shortest range of this group (often on the order of roughly 800–1,200 nautical miles depending on power settings and reserves) and generally carries 4–6 people in a club-style cabin, with practical comfort best for smaller groups and shorter trips. The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop in the very light business/fast personal category. It is built for speed and efficient point-to-point travel, with a typical range around roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical miles and seating usually 4–6 (often up to 6 in the cabin, plus pilot). The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a larger, utility-oriented single-engine turboprop that straddles personal and business/charter roles. It generally provides the longest range here (commonly about 1,700–1,900+ nautical miles) and the most useful cabin, often seating 6–9 depending on configuration. The Piper M600 SLS is a pressurized single-engine turboprop positioned below the TBM in speed and cabin size, typically offering about 1,200–1,500 nautical miles of range and commonly seating 4–6.
