Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

All five are pressurized single‑engine turboprops except the Beechcraft King Air “Denali,” which is designed as a larger, more premium single positioned between owner‑flown singles and small twin‑turboprops. In category and mission, the Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are fastest, owner‑pilot oriented personal/business aircraft; the Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a larger, more versatile executive/utility single with a higher typical payload and cabin volume; the Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is the rugged STOL utility/commuter choice optimized for short, unimproved strips rather than speed; and the Denali targets a high‑end business turboprop niche with a roomy cabin. For range, the TBM 960 and PC‑12 NGX generally sit at the top of this group, with the M600 SLS typically next, while the Kodiak is usually the shortest‑legged due to its utility/STOL focus; Denali is expected to be competitive with the longer‑range business singles. For passenger capacity, Kodiak commonly carries the most seats (often up to around 10), PC‑12 and Denali are typically configured for about 6–9, and TBM 960 and M600 SLS usually seat about 4–6 in comfort.
