It typically offers the greatest range of the four at about 7,700 nautical miles and carries the most people, commonly around 14–19 passengers depending on cabin configuration. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet optimized for versatility, including operation from shorter or less-improved runways than many jets. Its typical range is about 2,000 nautical miles, and it generally seats about 6–10 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop aimed at fast, efficient owner-flown travel. Its range is roughly 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, with seating commonly for 4–6 passengers. The Piper M600 SLS is also a single-engine turboprop, positioned below the TBM in size and speed for personal and small-business missions. Its range is about 1,200–1,400 nautical miles, and it typically seats about 4–6 passengers.
