Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M500

The Cessna Citation CJ4 and Embraer Phenom 300E are light jets aimed at efficient regional missions. Both typically seat about 6–9 passengers, with ranges around roughly 2,000 nautical miles (the Phenom 300E generally a bit farther than the CJ4 depending on payload and reserves). The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet as well, but emphasizes rugged, short/soft-field capability and flexible cabin use; it commonly carries 6–10 and offers about ~2,000 nm class range. The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super-midsize jet with a larger, quieter cabin, typically accommodating 8–12 passengers and flying in the ~3,000+ nm range for longer nonstop city pairs. The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop, usually configured for 4–6 passengers with range around the ~1,500–1,700 nm class, trading jet speed for efficiency and access to smaller airports. The Piper M500 is a pressurized single turboprop positioned below the TBM, generally carrying 4–5 passengers with roughly ~1,000–1,300 nm range, optimized for owner-pilots and lower operating costs.
