Daher Tbm 910 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piper M350 vs Piper M500 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Daher TBM 910 and TBM 960 are single‑engine turboprops aimed at fast personal and business travel. Both typically seat up to six passengers in addition to the pilot, and both offer long cross‑country capability; the TBM 960 is the newer, higher‑end evolution with refinements and a similar overall mission profile, generally marketed around roughly 1,500+ nautical miles of range depending on configuration and reserves. The Piper M350 is a pressurized, single‑engine piston aircraft, usually configured for five passengers plus a pilot, with shorter range than the turboprops, commonly around the 1,000–1,300 nautical mile class. The Piper M500 and M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprops positioned below the TBMs in speed but competitive for owner‑flown business use. The M500 typically carries five passengers plus a pilot, with range often around the 1,000–1,300 nautical mile class. The M600 SLS, also usually five plus pilot, emphasizes integrated safety/automation and commonly advertises roughly 1,400–1,500 nautical miles, varying with payload and conditions.
