Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Diamond Aircraft Da42 Vi vs Diamond Aircraft Da62 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC-12 NGX sit in the higher-performance turboprop category, suited to longer regional missions with strong speed and payload; the 360ER typically offers roughly 1,500–1,800 nm range and usually seats about 6–9 passengers, while the PC-12 NGX is commonly around 1,600–1,800 nm and is often configured for 6–9 in executive layouts (up to about 10 in higher-density use). The Cessna Grand Caravan EX is a utility single‑engine turboprop optimized for rugged, short-field work rather than speed, with typical range around 900–1,200 nm and capacity commonly 9–14 passengers depending on configuration. The Diamond DA42 VI is a light twin‑engine piston aircraft aimed at efficiency and training/surveillance roles, generally around 1,000–1,200 nm range with about 4–5 seats. The Diamond DA62 is a larger twin‑engine piston aircraft with more cabin volume, typically around 1,100–1,300 nm range and about 5–7 seats, bridging the gap between the DA42 and the turboprops.
