Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls vs Sikorsky S 92

The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 and Sikorsky S-92 are medium twin‑engine helicopters aimed at offshore transport, SAR, and utility missions, while the Pilatus PC‑24 and Piper M600 SLS are fixed‑wing business aircraft (the PC‑24 a light jet, the M600 a single‑engine turboprop). In range, the AW189 typically offers roughly 450–500 nautical miles depending on cabin fit and reserves, whereas the larger S‑92 is commonly in the ~500–600+ nautical mile class in passenger transport configurations. The PC‑24 generally exceeds both helicopters, with about 2,000 nautical miles class range (depending on payload and reserves), making it best suited to longer point‑to‑point travel. The M600 SLS sits between helicopters and the jet, typically around 1,400–1,600 nautical miles class. For passenger capacity, the AW189 usually seats about 16–19 passengers, and the S‑92 typically around 19 with higher maximum seating in some layouts. The PC‑24 is commonly configured for about 6–10 passengers (higher density possible), while the M600 SLS is typically 1 pilot plus up to 5 passengers in standard seating.
