Beechcraft King Air 260 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

Category-wise, the Beechcraft King Air 260, King Air 360, and 360ER are twin‑engine turboprops aimed at business and utility missions; the Cessna Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine utility turboprop optimized for simple, rugged hauling; and the Daher TBM 960 and Pilatus PC‑12 NGX are higher‑performance single‑engine turboprops positioned for fast executive travel (with the PC‑12 also strongly oriented to utility and special missions). On range, the TBM 960 typically leads among these, optimized for long, fast trips. The King Air 360ER is the long‑range variant within the King Air family and generally offers more endurance than the 260/360. The PC‑12 NGX is also long‑legged, usually comparable to or better than standard King Air 260/360 missions depending on payload. The King Air 260 and 360 sit in the mid‑to‑upper range tier. The Grand Caravan EX generally has the shortest range of this group when configured for higher payload. For passenger capacity, Grand Caravan EX and PC‑12 NGX commonly seat the most in commuter layouts (often up to around 9). King Air 260/360/360ER are typically configured around 6–9. TBM 960 is typically about 4–6 (up to ~6).
