The Cirrus SR22 G6 is a high‑performance single‑engine piston aircraft, typically used for personal and business travel with one pilot plus up to three or four passengers depending on loading; its practical range is generally around 1,000 nautical miles. The Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a very light single‑engine jet aimed at owner‑pilots, usually flown with one pilot and seating up to five passengers (often four in real missions); its typical range is about 1,200 nautical miles. The Piper M500 is a pressurized single‑engine turboprop, positioned as a step up from piston performance with simpler systems than faster turboprops; it commonly carries one pilot plus four to five passengers and offers roughly 1,000 nautical miles of range. The Daher TBM 940 is a high‑end, fast single‑engine turboprop in the personal/business category, usually one pilot plus four to five passengers, and it generally leads this group in range at roughly 1,500 nautical miles (depending on reserves and cruise settings).
