Cessna Citation Longitude vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M500

The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super‑midsize business jet, optimized for longer trips and a larger cabin, typically carrying about 8 to 12 passengers with intercontinental‑style legs in the roughly 3,000+ nautical mile class. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet, usually configured for about 6 to 9 passengers, with solid coast‑to‑coast capability in the roughly 2,000 nautical mile range. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a “super versatile” light jet designed for mixed missions, commonly seating about 6 to 10, with range generally around 2,000 nautical miles and the added advantage of operating from shorter or rougher runways than most jets. The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M500 are single‑engine turboprop business aircraft; they typically carry about 4 to 6 passengers and favor efficiency over jet speed, with ranges commonly around 1,000 to 1,700 nautical miles depending on use. The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a utility STOL turboprop; it can carry more people (often up to about 10) but is geared to shorter, rugged routes with shorter range than the business‑oriented types.
