Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna Caravan vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

In category, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and the Pilatus PC-12 NGX sit at the top end of pressurized single/“small twin” utility turboprops, with the 360ER as a twin‑engine business/utility aircraft and the PC-12 NGX as a high-performance, pressurized single-engine business/utility aircraft. The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer, pressurized single-engine turboprop positioned to compete directly with the PC-12 class. The Cessna Caravan is a simpler, rugged, typically unpressurized utility turboprop optimized for short/rough-field and cargo work rather than high-altitude business travel. The Piper M600 SLS is a pressurized single-engine turboprop in a smaller, owner-flown personal/business category. For range, the King Air 360ER is generally the longest-legged here, typically around 1,500–2,000+ nautical miles depending on load and reserves. Denali and PC-12 NGX are broadly similar, often around 1,500–1,800 nm. The M600 SLS is usually shorter, roughly around 1,000–1,400 nm. The Caravan is commonly in the ~800–1,200 nm range. For passenger capacity, Caravan and PC-12 can be configured up to about 9 passengers, King Air 360ER typically carries about 6–9, Denali about 6–8, and the M600 SLS about 4–6.
