Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piaggio Avanti EVO are pressurized twin‑turboprops positioned for efficient regional missions, while the Pilatus PC‑24 is a light business jet aimed at faster point‑to‑point travel, and the Piper M600 SLS is a high‑end single‑engine turboprop for owner‑operators. By range, the King Air 360ER is typically the longest‑legged of the turboprops here, optimized for extended regional sectors; the Avanti EVO offers strong range for its class and often similar mission lengths, with notably higher cruise speed than many turboprops. The PC‑24 generally provides jet‑class range suited to medium trips, though it may not always exceed the longest‑range turboprop variants depending on configuration. The M600 SLS usually has the shortest range of this group, oriented toward shorter to mid‑length flights with simpler operation. For passenger capacity, the King Air 360ER and Avanti EVO commonly seat about six to eight passengers in executive layouts. The PC‑24 typically accommodates around six to eight as well, with flexibility for higher-density seating in some configurations. The M600 SLS is usually configured for about four to six passengers.
