Cessna Grand Caravan Ex 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 and Daher Kodiak 100 Series III are utility single‑engine turboprops (SETs) optimized for short/rough-field work; they offer the highest passenger counts here (typically up to about 9 passengers depending on interior), but the shortest ranges, generally in the roughly 900–1,200 nm class depending on load, reserves, and configuration. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is also a SET, but it sits a class above in cabin size and cross‑country capability, commonly carrying 6–9 in comfort with substantially longer range (about 1,500+ nm typical). The Piper M500 and M600 SLS are pressurized personal/business SETs with smaller cabins, usually 4–6 passengers, and mid-to-long ranges (roughly 1,000–1,400+ nm), prioritizing owner‑pilot efficiency over maximum seats. The Daher TBM 910 and TBM 960 are high‑speed personal/business SETs with the lowest practical passenger counts (often 4–6), but they deliver the longest ranges in this group (often around 1,400–1,700+ nm) and the highest cruise speeds, with the 960 generally offering incremental efficiency and performance refinements over the 910.
