Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Daher TBM 960 and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are single‑engine turboprops, while the Embraer Phenom 300E is a twin‑engine light jet. In category terms, the TBM 960 emphasizes high-speed owner‑pilot travel in a pressurized turboprop, the PC‑12 NGX prioritizes utility, cabin volume, and short/rough-field flexibility, and the Phenom 300E targets jet performance, higher cruise speeds, and typical business-jet mission profiles. On range, all three are capable cross‑country aircraft, but their strengths differ: the TBM 960 is optimized for efficient long legs for its class (roughly around 1,700 nautical miles), the PC‑12 NGX offers similar long-range capability depending on payload (often around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles), and the Phenom 300E generally provides jet-range missions in the same broad band (often around 2,000 nautical miles), typically with higher speed but greater fuel burn. For passenger capacity, the TBM 960 usually seats about 4–6 in comfort, the Phenom 300E typically carries 6–9 depending on configuration, and the PC‑12 NGX can be configured from executive layouts to high-density seating, commonly 6–9 and up to around 10 passengers.
