Maximum Weight Limits
The Cessna 206H Stationair has a maximum takeoff weight of 3,600 lbs (1,632 kg). This section details the various weight limits including maximum payload and fuel capacity, ensuring that pilots understand the importance of adhering to these limits for safe flight operations.
Loading Procedures
This section outlines the recommended loading procedures for the Cessna 206H. It emphasizes the importance of distributing weight evenly and provides guidelines on how to load passengers and cargo to maintain the aircraft's center of gravity within acceptable limits.
Weight and Balance Calculations
Pilots are provided with formulas and examples for calculating weight and balance. This includes how to determine the center of gravity based on the weight of passengers, cargo, and fuel. Accurate calculations are crucial for flight safety.
Sample Weight and Balance Form
A sample weight and balance form is included to assist pilots in recording the weights of passengers, cargo, and fuel. This form is essential for pre-flight checks and ensuring compliance with weight limits.
Safety notes
- Improper loading can lead to loss of control during flight.
- Always verify weight and balance before takeoff.

CESSNA MODEL 206H SECTION 6 WEIGHT & BALANCE / EQUIPMENT LIST WEIGHT AND BALANCE (Continued) NOTE Loading Graph information for the pilot, passengers and baggage is based on seats positioned for average occupants and baggage loaded in the center of the baggage areas as shown on the Loading Arrangements diagram. For loadings which may differ from these, the Sample Loading Problem lists fuselage stations for these items to indicate their forward and aft C.G. range limitations (seat travel and baggage area limitation). Additional moment calculations, based on the actual weight and C.G. arm (fuselage station) of the item being loaded, must be made if the position of the load is different from that shown on the Loading Graph. When a cargo pack is installed, it is necessary to determine the C.G. arm and calculate the moment/1000 of items carried in the pack. The arm for any location in the pack can be determined from the diagram on Figure 6-5. Multiply the weight of the item by the C.G. arm, then divide by 1000 to get the moment/1000. The maximum loading capacity of the pack is 300 pounds. NOTE Each loading should be figured in accordance with the above paragraphs. When the loading is light (such as pilot and copilot, and no oxygen system, rear seats or cargo), be sure to check the forward balance limits. When loading is heavy (near gross weight), be sure to check the aft balance limits. To avoid time consuming delays in cargo and/or passenger shifting, plan your load so that the heaviest cargo and/or passengers are in the forward part of the airplane or cargo pack, and the lightest in the rear. Always plan to have any vacant space at the rear of the airplane or pack. For example, do not have passengers occupy the aft seat unless the front and center seats are to be occupied. Total the weights and moments/1000 and plot these values on the Center of Gravity Moment Envelope to determine whether the point falls within the envelope, and if the loading is acceptable. (Continued Next Page) Revision 4 16-9 SECTION 6 WEIGHT & BALANCE / EQUIPMENT LIST IWEIGHT AND BALANCE (Continued) BAGGAGE AND CARGO TIEDOWN CESSNA MODEL 206H A nylon baggage net having four tiedown straps is provided as standard equipment to secure baggage/cargo in cargo area D. Two floor-mounted "D" ring tiedowns and two "D" ring tiedowns located in the aft cabin top, serve as the attaching points for the net in cargo area "D". The "D" rings which serve as the attachments for the forward tiedown straps are mounted in the floor near each sidewall approximately at station 123. The two "D" rings for the aft tiedown straps are installed at the aft edge of the top rear windows approximately at station 135. It will be necessary to properly secure cargo loads before flight. To supplement the standard "D" rings provided for tiedown, additional "D" rings are available from any Cessna Dealer. If more tiedown points are needed, the shoulder harness attaching points may be used. Rope, strap, or cable used for tiedown should be rated at a minimum of ten times the load weight capacity of the tiedown fittings used. Refer to Figure 6-4 for additional information concerning attachments in restraining cargo. ITEM LOCATION MAXIMUM RATED LOAD (POUNDS) "D" Rings Shoulder Strap Floor and Aft Cabin Top Cabin Top 60 175 *Only the total rated load of tiedowns located aft of the cargo load are to be considered when determining adequate restraint of cargo. Tiedowns are also required forward of the load to prevent the load from shifting. The type of the tiedowns available, and the sum of their individual rated loads, are the determining factors in selecting the number of tiedowns needed. FOR EXAMPLE: A 400-pound load would require that a minimum of four (4) tiedowns rated at 100 pounds each be located aft of the load for proper restraint. Additional tiedowns forward of the load would be needed to prevent the load from shifting. 6-10 Revision 4 CESSNA MODEL 206H C.G.
