About the Cessna T206 Turbo Stationair

Overview

The Cessna T206 Turbo Stationair is the high-altitude member of the Stationair family. By adding a turbocharged 310-horsepower Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A to the proven 206 airframe, Cessna built a utility single that holds its power well above the altitudes where the naturally aspirated 206 starts to fade. With a service ceiling of 27,000 feet, the T206H is the “go anywhere, carry anything” choice for pilots who routinely cross mountains or operate from high, hot fields without giving up the clamshell cargo doors that define the type.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Altitude performance: The turbocharger sustains rated power well into the teens, so cruise speed and climb hold up where a non-turbo single would be struggling.
Real payload: Useful load near 1,300 lb keeps the T206 in the rare class of singles that can carry people, bags, and fuel together.
Cargo access: The signature double rear doors load stretchers, bikes, and bulky gear that simply will not fit through a conventional cabin door.
Rugged stance: Heavy-duty fixed gear suits unimproved strips and adapts to float and ski installations.

Trade-offs

More to manage: A turbocharged engine runs hotter and demands disciplined power and cooling management; neglect shortens cylinder life despite the 2,000-hour TBO.
Fuel flow at altitude: Expect 16 to 20 GPH when you actually use the turbocharger for high-speed, high-altitude cruise.
No pressurisation: The cabin is unpressurised, so flight in the high teens and low twenties means oxygen for everyone aboard.
