Cessna 172 vs Cirrus Sf50 G2 vs Cirrus Sr22 G6 vs Daher Tbm 940 vs Piper M500

The Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a single‑engine very light jet, offering the most “jet-like” category experience here and typically seating up to about seven occupants (often flown with fewer for comfort). Its range is generally around 1,200 nautical miles, making it well suited to regional trips with jet speed and altitude capability. The Cirrus SR22 G6 is a high‑performance single‑engine piston aircraft. It usually carries four to five people and is best for shorter to mid‑length missions, with typical range around 1,000 nautical miles depending on power settings, payload, and reserves. The Daher TBM 940 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop and is the longest‑range option of the group at roughly 1,700 nautical miles, with seating commonly for up to six. It targets fast, efficient owner‑pilot travel over longer legs. The Piper M500 is also a single‑engine turboprop, typically seating up to six, with range around 1,000 to 1,200 nautical miles, positioning it between the SR22 and TBM in mission capability.
