Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Embraer Legacy 650E is the most traditional large-cabin business jet of the group, aimed at longer missions and higher comfort. It typically offers the longest range here at roughly 3,900 nautical miles and usually seats about 13 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible), making it best for transcontinental or some intercontinental legs with a full cabin. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast, efficient twin‑turboprop positioned between light jets and conventional turboprops. Its range is generally around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles with seating commonly for 7–9 passengers, favoring speed and economics on regional to mid-length trips. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet optimized for versatility, including shorter and rougher runways. Range is typically about 2,000 nautical miles, and seating is commonly 6–10 depending on configuration, balancing cabin flexibility with jet performance. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop oriented to owner‑pilots. It has the shortest range of the four at roughly 1,400–1,500 nautical miles and typically seats 5–6 passengers, emphasizing simplicity and lower operating costs.
