Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Embraer Legacy 500 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Pilatus Pc 24"

The Bombardier Challenger 650 and Gulfstream G400 sit in the super‑midsize/large‑cabin business jet category, while the Embraer Legacy 500 is a super‑midsize jet and the Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet with “light‑super” utility, optimized for short and rough-field operations. On range, the G400 is the clear leader, designed for long‑haul missions at roughly 4,000+ nautical miles, enabling many transoceanic or deep intercontinental city pairs. The Challenger 650 and Legacy 500 are closer together, typically around the low‑to‑mid 3,000‑nautical‑mile class (with the Challenger generally edging the Legacy), fitting most North America transcontinental and many Atlantic missions with appropriate reserves. The PC‑24 has the shortest range, roughly around 2,000 nautical miles, but compensates with exceptional airport flexibility. For passenger capacity, the G400 and Challenger 650 generally seat the most comfortably, often configured for about 8–12 passengers, the Legacy 500 commonly seats about 8–10, and the PC‑24 typically carries about 6–10 depending on layout and baggage needs.
