Cirrus Sf50 G2 vs Daher Tbm 940 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M500 Cessna Citation Longitude

The Daher TBM 940 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop, best suited to fast owner-flown missions with a premium cabin. It typically offers about 1,700 nautical miles of range and seats up to six passengers in the cabin (often arranged for four to six plus a pilot). The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is also a single‑engine turboprop, but it emphasizes utility, cabin volume, and flexible loading over outright speed. Its typical range is about 1,800 nautical miles, and it commonly carries six to eight passengers, with configurations that can accommodate more depending on layout and mission. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a twin‑engine light jet designed for higher speed and jet performance while retaining strong short‑field capability. It generally provides around 2,000 nautical miles of range and typically seats about eight to ten passengers, depending on interior configuration. Overall, the TBM 940 favors speed for fewer passengers, the PC‑12 NGX favors versatility and cabin space, and the PC‑24 adds jet performance and higher passenger capacity.
