Variants and avionics
Type certificate A4CE covers the 206, P206, U206, TP206 and TU206 series, plus the later 206H and T206H. The 206H and T206H use the Garmin G1000 Nav III cockpit. Older airplanes are equipped differently, so match manuals and supplements to the serial number.
Maintenance items to verify
Separate service manuals exist for 1969 thru 1976 and 1977 thru 1986 airplanes. Temporary revisions added flat spring main landing gear inspection, a component time limits section, a fuel quantity indicating system test, fuel injection nozzle cleaning intervals and magneto inspection. The 1969-1976 manual also adds SEB99-18 inspection requirements. Ask for records showing compliance.
Performance context
Registry data for the whole 206 family shows up to 600 nm range, up to 146 kt cruise, up to 20000 ft service ceiling and up to 6 passengers. These are best-case family figures, not a promise for one airplane. Use the handbook for your serial number.
Safety notes
- Use 100/130 minimum grade avgas. Alcohol-based fuels are prohibited on Cessna airplanes because of performance loss and fuel system damage.
- The 206H hot weather supplement shows no change to limitations or procedures. Use the basic handbook for performance data.
- The G1000 can give erroneous operation without a fault indication. The pilot must cross-check against the other instruments.
