Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC-12 NGX sit in the “large single/entry twin utility turboprop” space aimed at flexible missions and short-runway capability, while the Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance, pressurized single-engine turboprop optimized for owner-pilot speed and efficiency, and the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a faster, distinctive pusher-turboprop positioned as a light business aircraft alternative. On range, the King Air 360ER is generally the longest-legged of the group, designed for extended missions and special-mission endurance. The PC-12 NGX offers long range in a similar practical category, typically competitive but usually not exceeding the 360ER’s “ER” profile. The TBM 960 delivers strong range for a fast single, but is more oriented to rapid point-to-point trips than maximum endurance. The Avanti EVO’s range is typically in the same broad band as the TBM/PC-12 class, with emphasis on higher cruise speeds rather than the very longest reach. On passenger capacity, the King Air 360ER commonly seats the most in standard layouts (often around 8–9), the PC-12 NGX is close behind (commonly 6–9 depending on configuration), while the Avanti EVO and TBM 960 are typically configured for fewer passengers (often about 4–7, layout dependent).
