Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are pressurized turboprops suited to short and unimproved runways, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers; the 360ER emphasizes longer range for its class (roughly up to ~1,800 nm), while the PC-12 NGX is in a similar general range band (often quoted around ~1,500–1,800 nm depending on load and reserves). The Daher TBM 910 is a faster, smaller single‑engine turboprop, generally optimized for 4–6 passengers and medium-to-long trips (about ~1,400–1,700 nm). Among light jets, the Cessna Citation CJ3+ is a 6–9 passenger category aircraft with typical range around ~1,800–2,000 nm. The Embraer Phenom 300E is also a light jet but often considered at the top of the segment, commonly seating 6–10 and offering similar or slightly greater typical range (about ~1,900–2,000+ nm). The Pilatus PC-24 is a “super versatile” light jet designed for rough-field capability, usually 6–10 passengers, with range commonly around ~2,000 nm, blending jet speed with unusual airfield access.
