Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Robinson R66

The Daher TBM 960 and Piper M600 SLS are single‑engine turboprop airplanes, optimized for fast, efficient point‑to‑point travel using runways. The TBM 960 typically offers the longest practical range of the four (roughly 1,400–1,700 nm depending on power settings and reserves) and seats about 4–6 passengers in addition to the pilot. The Piper M600 SLS is a step down in speed and range (about 1,000–1,400 nm typical) with a similar real‑world cabin load, commonly 4–5 passengers plus pilot. The Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter designed for utility, offshore, and SAR-style missions. It carries the most people, commonly around 12–16 passengers (configuration dependent), but its range is generally shorter than the turboprops, typically on the order of 450–500+ nm. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine turbine helicopter aimed at lower operating cost and simple missions. It carries about 4 passengers plus pilot and has a shorter range than the AW189 in most configurations, commonly around 300–350 nm.
