Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a rugged utility turboprop optimized for short and unimproved strips, typically carrying up to about 10 occupants (commonly 8–9 passengers plus pilot, depending on configuration). Its range is generally around the 1,000–1,100 nm class, trading speed for STOL capability and payload flexibility. The Daher TBM 910 is a high-performance, pressurized single-engine turboprop aimed at fast personal and business travel. It is usually configured for one pilot plus up to about five to six passengers, and it offers the longest legs of the three in typical cruise profiles, commonly around 1,500–1,700 nm, with significantly higher cruise speeds than the Kodiak or PC-12. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX sits between them in mission: a pressurized, versatile executive and utility aircraft with a large cabin. It commonly seats six to nine passengers (with higher-density options) and delivers long range roughly in the 1,500–1,800 nm bracket, while also retaining strong short-field capability, though not as extreme as the Kodiak.
