Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

By category, the Cessna Citation CJ3+ is the only light jet here, optimized for faster point‑to‑point business travel. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC‑12 NGX are pressurized twin‑ and single‑engine turboprops respectively, positioned as versatile corporate/utility aircraft. The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are high‑performance single‑engine turboprops aimed at owner‑pilots, with the TBM generally the more speed‑focused step up. The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a rugged utility/STOL turboprop geared to short, unimproved strips rather than maximum cruise speed. On range, the King Air 360ER is typically the longest‑leg turboprop option in this set. The CJ3+ and TBM 960 also offer long cross‑country legs, while the PC‑12 NGX is close behind and notable for balancing range with payload and field performance. The M600 SLS is mid‑range relative to the TBM/PC‑12 class, and the Kodiak’s range is usually the shortest, reflecting its mission. For passenger capacity, King Air 360ER and PC‑12 NGX commonly seat the most (often up to about 9–10). CJ3+ and Kodiak typically carry around 6–9 depending on layout. TBM 960 and M600 SLS are usually configured around 4–6 passengers plus pilot.
