Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX are both turboprops, but they target different missions. The King Air 360ER is a pressurized, higher-performance twin‑engine business turboprop with long endurance, typically offering roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range and seating commonly around 6–9 passengers in executive layouts. The Grand Caravan EX is a rugged, single‑engine utility turboprop optimized for short/rough fields, with a shorter typical range around 900–1,100 nautical miles and higher capacity, often up to about 9–14 passengers depending on configuration. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin business jet designed for longer nonstop travel, with transcontinental-to-near-intercontinental capability of roughly 3,900 nautical miles and seating typically 10–13 passengers in a corporate cabin. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet with a unique “jet plus utility” niche, combining short-field flexibility with about 2,000 nautical miles of range and a cabin that commonly seats 6–10 passengers, bridging turboprop practicality and jet speed.
