Cirrus Vision Jet G2 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a single‑engine very light jet aimed at owner‑pilots and short, efficient trips. It typically offers around 1,200 nautical miles of range and is commonly flown with 4–5 passengers plus a pilot, though seating can be configured up to about seven occupants including the pilot. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop rather than a jet, optimized for speed and efficiency on longer legs. It generally reaches about 1,700 nautical miles of range and usually carries 4–6 passengers plus a pilot in a pressurized cabin. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light twin‑engine business jet designed for more payload flexibility and “rugged” access, including operation from shorter and less‑prepared runways than many jets. It typically has roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range and can seat up to about 8–10 occupants including the pilot(s), with room for more baggage and airstair door convenience.
