Performance and loading (T206H)
Takeoff ground roll is 1060 ft and 1970 ft over a 50 ft obstacle. Rate of climb at sea level is 960 fpm. Stall speed is 69 KCAS flaps up and 58 KCAS flaps full, power idle. Max ramp weight is 3806 lb and max landing weight is 3600 lb. The baggage compartment is limited to 180 lb. Max range at 10,000 ft is 676 NM with 87 gal usable.
Airworthiness items to verify
The CASA AD for the Honeywell KAP 140 autopilot covers listed 206H/T206H serial numbers. It required a software update, effective 10 June 2004. Textron SEB-34-21 (G1000 NXI) updates software 2501.03 to 2501.09 to version 2501.10, so ESP low-airspeed protection no longer engages the autopilot. Compliance is recommended at the next 100-hour or annual inspection. Check logbooks for both.
Rear door and fuel system checks
Mandatory SEB-11-05 requires an emergency exit warning placard. It warns that flaps at 10 degrees or more may impede the cargo door. A CASA bulletin says to brief passengers on opening the door and to consider limiting flaps to 10 degrees. A fuel-flow stabilisation placard and instruction card should be in place on Continental fuel-injected 200-series airplanes. Confirm both on a pre-buy.
Safety notes
- Flap positions of 10 degrees or more may impede evacuation through the rear cargo door; brief passengers on it.
- Low-airspeed ESP can engage the autopilot in LVL-LVL mode on affected G1000 NXI airplanes (software 2501.03 to 2501.09).
- Unstable fuel flow can cause power surges or complete power loss; make sure the fuel flow placards and instruction card are present.
