What you are buying

The CESSNA U206F STATIONAIR is covered by the Cessna 206 series type certificate and is accepted for a maximum of six seats. The owner's manual supplement shows a Continental IO-520-F rated 300 BHP at 2850 RPM for five minutes, and 285 BHP at 2700 RPM continuous. Floatplane and skiplane supplements exist for this model.

Weights and loading

Library data gives empty weight of 1,680 lb, useful load of 1,920 lb and a 3,600 lb limit for ramp, takeoff and landing. Baggage allowance is 200 lb. The CG range is 34 to 40 inches. Wingspan is 36 ft. Weigh the actual airplane, because equipment and seat fit change real payload.

Data conflicts and what to verify

The library row lists an IO-550-U engine and 60 gal fuel. The handbook and accident reports cite an IO-520-F, and the handbook lists optional long-range tanks. Confirm the installed engine, propeller, tank configuration and any floatplane or skiplane modifications from logbooks and the type certificate data.

Safety notes

  • G-STAT (2003): engine stopped on a long-range tank left unswitched on one side. Switch tanks per procedure and use the booster pump when changing from a dry tank.
  • G-BAGV (2002): elevator rod hardware was missing after maintenance, and tailcone screws were absent. Inspect elevator linkage and the rear bulkhead carefully.
  • Gauges fluctuated at low fuel in the G-STAT report. Do not rely on gauges alone for fuel planning.
