Cessna Citation Xls vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Robinson R66

The Cessna Citation XLS+ and Pilatus PC-24 are light jets, while the Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop and the Robinson R66 is a light turbine helicopter. In range, the TBM 960 is typically the longest-legged of the group for nonstop missions, often around the mid‑1,000s to ~1,700 nautical miles depending on reserves and cruise profile. The Citation XLS+ is similar or slightly lower in practical planning, commonly around ~1,600–1,900 nautical miles. The PC-24 is generally in the same class, often planned around ~1,700–2,000 nautical miles, with strengths in operating from shorter or rougher runways than many jets. The R66’s range is much shorter, typically on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (roughly ~300–350), but it can access helipads and confined areas airplanes cannot. For passenger capacity, the XLS+ usually seats about 7–9, the PC-24 commonly 6–10 depending on layout, the TBM 960 typically carries 4–6 passengers plus a pilot, and the R66 seats up to 4 passengers plus a pilot.
