"Turbo Stationair: Information!"

Unlike with some Cessna models, the turbo version of the 206 was available nearly from the start.

The 206 was a surprise winner of that process, one of only three piston models to make the cut.


Casual observers often incorrectly state the level of improvement to the Cessna lineup that took place when the company relaunched production.


The new 206, like the 172 and 182, was certified under Part 23, a far more stringent set of standards than the old Car 3, under which the original airplanes had been approved.

The 206 has been upgraded in literally dozens of ways. There are better seats, better belts, improved ventilation, nicer upholstery.


If you've ever owned an old Cessna, is a big deal — more reliable fuel systems, more redundant electrical systems, tougher paint and much more.


Today's Cessna piston singles are simply built to be tougher, safer and more durable than the great old airplanes they succeeded.


One of the biggest changes is the new power plant — well, after 12 years of production, it should stop calling it new.


The Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A in the Turbo produces 310 hp loafing along at its maximum rated prop rpm of 2,400.


There are a few good things about a slow-turning prop. In fact, creating airplanes that were quieter was a prime goal for Cessna from the day it began to plan its re-entry into the piston marketplace.


The big Lyc helps a lot with noise, and the three-blade McCauley constant-speed prop helps keep things quieter too, especially around the airport.


The roomy interior of the 206 is beautiful, with attractive headliner and carpeting and big, upholstered, cushy leather seats.

The seats also happen to be incredibly strong, meeting the FAA's 26G crashworthiness standard enacted only after the original Stationair was out of production.


The panel is also gorgeous, something that's easy to forget after seeing so many G1000 and G1000-based panels.


The panel is its suitability to every platform. The G1000 is just as much at home in the Cessna 206 as it is in the Cessna Mustang.


The big selling point of the Stationair, in addition to the six seats, of course, is the big double door in back.


Cessna describes the 206 as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes.


They can also be equipped with floats, amphibious floats and skis. Alternatively, they can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport.


The 206, like nearly all Cessna piston singles, was equipped with Continental six-cylinder engines throughout most of its production life.

The Model 207 was a seven- and later eight-seat development of the 206, achieved by stretching the design further by 45 inches (114 cm)[5] to allow space for more seats.
