Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation M2 and Daher TBM 960 sit at the lighter end: the M2 is a very light jet suited to short-to-mid missions, typically carrying about 4–5 passengers comfortably (up to 7 with belted seats) with roughly 1,300–1,550 nm range. The TBM 960 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop, usually 4–6 passengers, with longer legs around 1,400–1,700 nm depending on speed and reserves. Stepping up, the Citation CJ3+ is a light jet with about 6 passengers in typical layouts (up to ~9 seats) and around 2,000 nm range, while the Citation CJ4 is a larger “light/super‑light” jet with more cabin and payload flexibility, commonly 7–8 passengers (up to ~10) and about 2,000–2,200 nm range. The Embraer Phenom 300E is also in the super‑light class, generally 6–8 passengers (up to ~10) with roughly 1,950–2,010 nm range, often noted for speed and cabin refinement. The Pilatus PC‑24 bridges light and midsize utility: 6–8 passengers typical (up to ~10) with about 1,800–2,000 nm range and strong rough/short‑field capability.
