Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair vs Cessna Caravan vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M350 vs Piper M500

By category, the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is a high-performance, pressurized-absent piston single; the Piper M350 is a pressurized piston single; the Piper M500 is a pressurized single-engine turboprop; the Cessna Turbo Stationair (T206) is a utility piston single; the Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a rugged STOL utility turboprop; the Cessna Caravan and Grand Caravan EX are utility turboprops (the EX being higher-power); and the Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a premium, pressurized single-engine turboprop aimed at executive/utility roles. On range, the piston singles generally sit in the roughly 600–1,300 nautical mile class, with the pressurized M350 and efficient Bonanza often trending longer than the heavier, utility-focused Turbo Stationair. The turboprops typically span about 700–1,800 nautical miles: Caravan-family and Kodiak tend toward the midrange, the M500 longer, and the PC‑12 NGX usually the longest of this group. For passenger capacity, typical seating is about 4–6 for Bonanza G36, about 5–6 for M350 and M500, about 6–10 for Turbo Stationair and Kodiak (depending on configuration), about 9–14 for Caravan/Grand Caravan EX, and commonly 6–10 for the PC‑12 NGX with a much larger cabin and payload flexibility.
