Cirrus Sr22t G6 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M600

The Cirrus SR22T G6 and the Daher TBM 960 sit in different aircraft categories: the SR22T G6 is a high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft aimed at owner-pilots, while the TBM 960 is a single-engine turboprop designed for faster, higher-altitude, longer-range personal and business travel. In range terms, the SR22T typically supports roughly 1,000–1,200 nautical miles depending on power settings, altitude, and reserves, whereas the TBM 960 is commonly in the roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical mile class, again depending on configuration and mission profile. Passenger capacity also reflects their roles: the SR22T is generally configured for one pilot plus up to three or four occupants (up to five seats total), with useful load and fuel tradeoffs often limiting full-fuel, full-seat missions. The TBM 960 typically seats a pilot plus up to five passengers (often six seats total), and it more comfortably carries multiple passengers with baggage over longer legs.
