Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M350 vs Piper M600 Sls

By category, the Beechcraft Denali, Daher TBM 960, Pilatus PC-12 NGX, and Piper M600 SLS are all single‑engine turboprops, while the Piper M350 is a pressurized piston single. In range, the TBM 960 is generally the longest‑legged of the group at roughly 1,700 nautical miles, aimed at fast, efficient owner‑pilot travel. The PC‑12 NGX and M600 SLS typically sit in the mid‑to‑upper 1,000‑nautical‑mile class (about 1,400–1,600 nm depending on configuration), trading some speed for cabin volume and utility. The Denali is positioned similarly, around the mid‑1,000‑nautical‑mile range, though final numbers depend on certification and options. The M350 is shorter‑range overall, commonly around 1,300–1,400 nm. For passenger capacity, the TBM 960 and M350 are usually configured for about 4–6 passengers plus the pilot, the M600 SLS about 5–6 plus pilot, the Denali typically about 6 plus pilot, and the PC‑12 NGX leads in flexibility and space, often seating 6–8 in executive layouts and up to 9 passengers in high‑density configurations.
