Which is best for training with 1200 NM Range?
Quick question?
Which of these aircrafts below are good for training with no ratings and requirement of 1200 NM range and keeping all things constant!
Cirrus SR22
Piper meridian
Cessna 350
Cirrus SR22 Turbo
TBM 1000
TBM 850
Epic Dynasty
Pilatus comparable model
Hawker Bonanza G36
KingAir C90
KingAir GTi
Thanks any input would be greatly appreciated.

Well...
It depends on the state of registry. Under JAA/EASA regs (Europe) any turbine powered aircraft (single or multi-engined) will require a type rating so that in effect rules out the TBM's and the King Air's, the PC12, and ofcourse the Meridian.
If, however you were to be on the N reg (USA) lets say, you would not require a type rating as all of the aircraft are below 12500 lbs and are single pilot certificated. On saying that, no insurance company is going to let you near a turbine powered aircraft without a FlightSafety International course or similar, and those guys will have a minimum hours for the course requirement, which can sometimes be negotiated down by the training centre managers approval.
The Garmin equipment in the new Mooney = a very capable light aircraft that someone with a PPL and 100 hours should get insured on. BTW never, ever believe a manufacturers claim to range...

I think you are pushing it a little with the range requirements; 1200nm is a stretch for any single. Some on your list can make it but you're looking at 6-7 hrs airborne time if this is one leg.
Unless you're going to a place 600nm away where they do not sell fuel (?).
But even 600NM is Europe guarantees that you'll need an Instrument rating.

I think we could use a little more information here to give you better advise.
