Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

In category, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑engine turboprop in the light/medium utility class, valued for redundancy and short/rough-field flexibility. The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer pressurized single‑engine turboprop positioned as a high‑end “large cabin” single, aiming to bridge traditional singles and entry twin turboprops. The Daher TBM 960 is a pressurized high‑performance single‑engine turboprop optimized for fast owner‑pilot travel. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a pressurized single‑engine utility turboprop with strong cargo/medevac and unimproved‑strip capability. The Piper M600 SLS is a pressurized personal/owner‑pilot single‑engine turboprop. For range, the 360ER and PC‑12 NGX generally lead (roughly around 1,500–2,000+ nm class depending on payload and reserves), the Denali is expected to be competitive in the mid‑to‑upper end of that band, the TBM 960 is typically strong around the ~1,500+ nm class at efficient cruise, and the M600 SLS is shorter, roughly ~1,000+ nm class. For passenger capacity, typical seating is about 6–9 in the King Air 360ER, about 6–8 in Denali/TBM 960/M600 SLS, and about 6–10 in the PC‑12 NGX depending on interior and mission.
