Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

In category terms, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER, Piaggio Avanti EVO, and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are pressurized twin/single‑engine turboprops, while the Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Embraer Phenom 300E are light business jets. For range, the King Air 360ER and PC-12 NGX are typically the longest-legged of this group, generally around the 1,700–2,000+ nautical mile class depending on payload and reserves, making them strong for longer regional missions and remote-airfield access. The Avanti EVO usually sits a bit below them but remains competitive for many medium-range city pairs. The CJ3+ and Phenom 300E commonly offer jet ranges in the roughly 1,800–2,000+ nautical mile class, with the Phenom 300E often at the upper end among light jets. For passenger capacity, all five are broadly similar, most often configured for about six to nine passengers; the PC-12 NGX and King Air 360ER can be arranged toward the higher end, while the CJ3+ and Phenom 300E commonly seat six to eight in typical executive layouts, with maximums depending on interior and regulatory limits.
