Cessna 206 Model Information
Cessna 206
The six-seat Model 206 was introduced as a 1964 model and was built until 1986, when Cessna halted production of its single-engine product. It was then re-introduced in 1998 and remains in production in 2008.[4]
There were many sub-variants, including the U206, P206 all certified to CAR3 standards and later 206H certified to FAR Part 23.
The total Model 206 production between 1964 and 2004 was 6581 aircraft.
Cessna U206
The original 1964 model was the U206, powered by a 285 hp (213 kW) Continental IO-520-A. The U designation indicated utility and this model was equipped with a pilot side door and large clamshell rear door serving the back two rows of seats, allowing easy loading of over-sized cargo.[4]
There was a TU206 turbocharged version powered by the Continental TSIO-520-C engine producing 285 hp (213 kW). After 1967 the turbo TU206 was powered by a TSIO-520-F of 300 hp (220 kW) (the extra 15 hp (11 kW) were obtained by turning the engine at a higher rpm, and was only allowed for five minutes.[4] Due to the large propeller diameter, the additional engine speed meant that the propeller tips were pushed to transonic speeds, which required much more power. Thus the extra 15 hp (11 kW) did not produce much performance improvement but did produce unpleasant noise levels.
From 1964 to 1969 the U206 was known as the Super Skywagon. From 1970 it was named the Stationair, a contraction of Station Wagon of the Air, which is a good description of the aircraft's intended role. Sub-variants were designated U206 to U206G.[4]
In 1977 the U206 had its engine upgraded to a Continental IO-520-F of 300 hp (220 kW) (continuous rating, obtained at a lower speed than the previous IO-520-F) and the TU206 powerplant was changed to the TSIO-520-M producing 310 hp (230 kW).[4]
Production of all versions of the U206 was halted in 1986 when Cessna stopped manufacturing all piston engine aircraft. A total of 5208 U206s had been produced.[4]
Cessna P206
1965 saw the P206 added to the line. In this case the P stood for people, as the P206 had passenger doors similar to the Cessna 210, from which it was derived, on both sides.[4]
The P206 was produced from 1965 to 1970 and was powered by a Continental IO-520-A of 285 hp (213 kW). There was a turbocharged model designated TP206 which was powered by a Continental TSIO-520-A also of 285 hp (213 kW).[4]
647 P206s were produced under the name Super Skylane which made it sound like a version of the Cessna 182, which it was not. Sub-variants were designated P206 to P206E.[4]
Cessna 206H
After a production hiatus of twelve years, Cessna started manufacturing a new version of the venerable 206 in 1998, with the introduction of the newly certified 206H.[4] The H model is generally similar to the previous U206 configuration, with a pilot entry door and a rear double clamshell door for access to the middle and back seats. The "H" is marketed under the name "Stationair".
The 206H is powered by a Lycoming IO-540-AC1A powerplant producing 300 hp (220 kW). The turbocharged T206H is powered by a Lycoming TSIO-540-AJ1A engine of 310 hp (230 kW).[4]
Even though the Cessna 206H is certified as a six seat aircraft in its country of origin, the Canadian aviation regulator, Transport Canada has only certified it to carry five people in Canada. This is due to concerns about passenger egress through the rear clamshell door with the flaps extended. Cessna addressed one part of this problem early on, after a flight-test aircraft was damaged when the pilot extended the flaps while taxiing, and his passenger had the clamshell door open (for ventilation; it was a hot summer day). A switch was added to the flap actuation circuit which disabled the flaps when the doors were open. The other part of the problem is that if the flaps are already down, the passenger must perform the complicated procedure of opening the front part as far as possible (about 2 in (5.1 cm)) then open the rear door and restow the rear door handle. This then gives enough clearance to open the rear part of the door.
Both the 206H and the T206H remain in production in 2008. By the end of 2004 Cessna had produced 221 206Hs and 505 T206Hs, for a total production of 726 "H" models.[4]
Cessna has indicated that they do not intend to produce a P206-configuration aircraft in the future, due to lack of market demand.
