Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna 172 Skyhawk vs Cessna 182 Skylane vs Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair vs Cessna Caravan vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M350 vs Piper M500 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Cessna Skyhawk is a basic four-seat piston trainer and personal airplane with the shortest range in this group. The Cessna Skylane and Cessna Turbo Stationair step up to heavier single‑engine pistons with more useful load and typically six seats; the Turbo Stationair emphasizes carrying people and baggage, while the Skylane is the simpler traveling machine, and both generally outrange the Skyhawk. The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Piper M350 are high‑performance, pressurized-capable-class personal singles; they usually carry up to six but are most comfortable with fewer adults and bags, with solid midrange cross‑country capability. The Piper M500 and M600 SLS move into single‑engine turboprops, still typically six seats, with longer legs and higher cruise speeds than the piston singles. The Cessna Caravan and Grand Caravan EX are utility turboprops aimed at hauling, commonly 9–14 passengers depending on configuration, with moderate range but excellent payload and short‑field capability. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX and Beechcraft King Air Denali are premium single‑engine turboprops, typically 6–9 passengers in executive layouts, offering the longest ranges here along with higher speed and cabin comfort.
