Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Piper M350

The Cessna Turbo Stationair (turbocharged 6-seat piston) and the Piper M350 (pressurized 6-seat piston) are both personal/corporate singles, while the Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a turboprop utility/STOL aircraft aimed at rugged commercial, charter, and backcountry missions. In range terms, the M350 typically leads among the piston singles thanks to efficient high-altitude cruise in a pressurized cabin, often around the 1,000–1,300 nm class depending on power settings and reserves. The Turbo Stationair is generally shorter-legged, commonly in the roughly 700–900 nm class, varying with load and altitude. The Kodiak 100 Series III can be similar to or somewhat longer than the Stationair in many real-world profiles, often around roughly 900–1,100 nm, but its standout is flexibility rather than maximum range. For passenger capacity, both the Turbo Stationair and M350 are normally configured for six seats including the pilot, whereas the Kodiak is substantially larger, commonly configured for around 9–10 seats (and can be arranged for more utility or cargo-focused layouts).
