Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

In category, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are pressurized turboprops aimed at efficient short-to-midrange missions, while the Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop optimized for speed and owner‑pilot use. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet, generally offering higher cruise speeds and a more “jet-like” cabin experience. The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer single‑engine turboprop positioned between the TBM and PC‑12 in size and capability, with many specifications still dependent on final certification configuration. For range, the King Air 360ER is typically the longest-legged of this set, commonly around 3,000+ nautical miles with auxiliary fuel, making it well suited to longer overwater or remote legs. The Phenom 300E and PC‑12 NGX usually cluster around roughly 1,800–2,000 nm class missions, while the TBM 960 is often in the ~1,700–1,900 nm class. Denali is expected to land in a similar mid‑range band. For passenger capacity, the King Air 360ER generally seats the most (often 8–9 plus crew), the PC‑12 NGX typically carries 6–9, Denali is commonly planned around 6–8, TBM 960 around 4–6, and Phenom 300E typically 6–9 depending on layout.
