Daher Tbm 910 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M350 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Daher TBM 910 and TBM 960 are high-performance single‑engine turboprops in the same general category, typically optimized for fast owner‑pilot travel with similar nominal seating (commonly up to about six passengers plus pilot). In range, both are long‑leg aircraft for their class, with the TBM 960 generally positioned as the more refined, higher‑end evolution, while the TBM 910 remains a slightly earlier, comparable long‑range variant. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is also a single‑engine turboprop, but it sits in a larger, more utility‑oriented category with a roomier cabin and higher practical passenger capacity, often configured for more seats than the TBM family and better suited to mixed passenger/cargo missions; its range is also long and competitive within the segment. The Piper M350 is a pressurized piston single, a different category focused on lower operating costs and shorter ranges than the turboprops, typically carrying about five to six occupants including the pilot. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop positioned between the M350 and TBM/PC‑12, with similar nominal seating to the TBM but generally less range than the fastest, longest‑leg TBM variants.
