Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Cessna 172 Skyhawk vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Piper Seminole vs Piper Seneca

The Cessna Skyhawk (172) is a simple, fixed‑gear, single‑engine trainer and personal aircraft, typically carrying four people with a practical range around 600–800 nautical miles depending on model, speed, and reserves. The Piper Arrow is also a four‑seat single, but it is a more complex, retractable‑gear step‑up aircraft used for touring and instrument training; range is broadly similar, often roughly 600–800 nautical miles. The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is a higher‑performance, six‑seat single‑engine piston aircraft aimed at fast personal and business travel, commonly offering about 700–900 nautical miles of range. The Piper Seneca is a light twin‑engine piston aircraft, usually seating six (often operated with 4–6), providing multi‑engine redundancy and typically about 600–800 nautical miles of range. The Daher TBM 910 is a pressurized, high‑performance single‑engine turboprop built for owner‑business use; it generally seats 4–6 in comfort (up to about six) and has the longest reach here, commonly around 1,200–1,700 nautical miles depending on power setting and payload.
