Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Cessna Citation M2 and CJ3+ are light jets: the M2 is the smaller, typically flown with about 4–5 passengers in real comfort and offers roughly 1,500 miles of range, while the CJ3+ is a step up, commonly carrying 6–7 passengers with about 2,000 miles of range. The Embraer Phenom 300E sits at the top of the light-jet group in this set, usually carrying 6–8 passengers and offering around 2,000–2,200 miles of range, often with higher cruise speeds than the Citations. The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop rather than a jet; it generally carries 4–6 passengers (up to 6) and reaches roughly 1,700 miles. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is also a single-engine turboprop but larger and more utility-oriented, typically carrying 6–8 passengers with roughly 1,700–1,800 miles of range, and it excels at shorter or rougher runways compared with the jets.
