Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair vs Cirrus Sr22 G6

The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is a high-performance, normally aspirated single-engine piston aircraft in the personal/owner-flown touring category. It typically seats six, with range generally around the 700–900 nautical mile class depending on power settings, payload, and reserves. It’s often chosen for fast cross-country travel with a more refined handling and cabin feel than many peers. The Cessna Turbo Stationair (pressurized versions aside, commonly the turbocharged 206/“Stationair” family) is a utility-focused, turbocharged single-engine piston aircraft optimized for load-carrying and short/rough-field flexibility. It also commonly seats six, but its practical passenger-and-baggage capability is usually the standout. Range is often in a similar broad band to the others, roughly 600–900 nautical miles depending on configuration and mission. The Cirrus SR22 G6 is a modern, high-speed composite single in the personal touring category, typically with seating for five (often marketed as 5). Range is commonly about 800–1,000 nautical miles, and it emphasizes avionics integration, speed, and the added appeal of an airframe parachute system.
