Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Cessna Skycourier vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M500 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Cessna Grand Caravan EX, Cessna SkyCourier, and Daher Kodiak 100 Series III are utility single‑engine turboprops optimized for short/rough-field work; they typically offer the highest practical passenger loads in this group, commonly around 9–19 depending on configuration (Caravan and Kodiak often near 9 in commuter layouts, SkyCourier up to 19). Their ranges are generally in the roughly 900–1,200+ nm class, varying strongly with payload. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX sits in the “large cabin” single‑engine turboprop category, usually configured for about 6–9 passengers with substantially longer range, commonly around 1,500–1,800 nm. The Daher TBM 910 and TBM 960 are fast, pressurized, owner‑pilot singles focused on speed and efficiency rather than seats; typical capacity is about 4–6 passengers, with range roughly around 1,400–1,700 nm (often mission‑dependent). The Piper M500 and M600 SLS are similar personal/business turboprops; they generally seat about 4–6 passengers, with the M600 SLS typically offering the longer range (roughly ~1,200–1,500 nm) and the M500 somewhat less.
