Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

The Beechcraft King Air 360 and 360ER are twin‑turboprop business aircraft; both typically carry about 6–9 passengers depending on interior, with the 360ER trading higher fuel capacity for longer endurance, giving it a meaningfully greater range than the standard 360. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop in a similar mission class but with a larger, more flexible cabin; it commonly seats about 6–9 and offers long range comparable to, and often exceeding, many light jets on real missions. The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprops optimized for owner‑pilots; they usually seat about 4–6 (up to 6), with strong range, but smaller cabins than the PC‑12/King Air class. The Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Embraer Phenom 300E are light jets; both typically seat about 6–9, cruise faster than the turboprops, and offer solid medium‑to‑long range, with the Phenom 300E often marketed at the top end of this segment. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin turboprop with jet‑like speeds, usually seating about 6–9, and range generally in the medium‑to‑long category.
