Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Piper M350

The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Piper M350 are pressurized, single‑engine piston aircraft aimed at owner‑pilots, while the Beechcraft King Air 360 is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft designed for higher utilization and professional operations. In range, the Bonanza G36 typically offers roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on power settings and reserves, the Piper M350 is in a similar but often slightly shorter ballpark (about 1,000–1,300 nautical miles depending on configuration), and the King Air 360 generally goes farther, commonly around 1,500+ nautical miles, with better high‑altitude cruise capability. For passenger capacity, the Bonanza G36 is usually configured for six seats including the pilot, the M350 is typically five to six seats including the pilot (often with more emphasis on cabin comfort and pressurization), and the King Air 360 commonly seats six to nine depending on interior layout, with more baggage volume and cabin space for business travel.
