Cessna T206H HD Stationair Demo 

This 90 yr old bought a new 206 in about 69-70.GREAT plane ! Had almost all Cessnas (no jets) and this one was one I enjoyed most. Miss flying but 700-800 grand ! Wow, world passed me by.

I'm gonna say this. Steve Kent is a sharp man. I would hope that someone of his caliber works at Textron Aviation - he builds confidence in the brand! After listening to him my perception of quality, performance and safety shot up.

For those of you complaining about costs, you need to consider what this plane can do. Look at the twin engine Beach Baron or the Piper Seneca. They boat cost way more but carry much less. The Baron with full fuel can barely carry 2 people and some light baggage. The 206 is a work horse with a maximum useful load of 1800 lbs. With full fuel it can still carry 4 ppl and bags. At 165 knots. Sure the twins go a bit faster but they can’t carry all your stuff and friends. If I had the money the 206 would be on a very short list for me.

Dang. Steve Kent & Larry Anglisano know their stuff. Impressive! Cessna did well on this one.

"It had it's roots carrying a full load into short strips" While showing a landing that took 3/4th of a runway. I'm impressed.

Fun fact about the Windham Airport in Willimantic, Connecticut: It was originally owned by the Town of Windham, but was sold in the 1970s to the State of Connecticut for $1 in order to keep the airport running after the town ran into some financial difficulties and couldn’t afford to continue operating the airport.

9:03 Station Air Stabilizer is the same length as a Station Air elevator. Great information, I'll keep that in mind.

Nice work man! You sold me at 9:45. Love Cessna! Especially the 206!!!

Excelente reportagem! Belissíma aeronave! Robusta, segura e honesta a seus propósitos!

Beautiful piece of equipment.

I fly a 2017 T206H and absolutely love it. Can’t think of a better airplane for what I use it for!

Steve you are a big man! You make that plane look like an amusement toy, and I have been around many 206, they are not small. 😄

Great vid. Love this plane! And the rv6 and newest ones too.

I've taken off dozens of times in a 206 but have yet to land in one. Ya I skydive.

EXCELLENT presentation!

Great plane and nice to be able to actually take passengers.

Great clip. I learned a lot. Thanks.

I hope they got all of the Lycoming exploding crankshaft issues resolved with the 206! Cessna did an artful job at hiding that story.

Textron Aviation. They dont seem to even want to acknowledge Cessna anymore.

Awesome video of an Awesome aircraft

This guy is obviously a salesman to the bone, but this _does_ seem like an impressively versatile and well thought out little airplane. Just how easily configurable they made it -- especially with the seats and doors -- and the fact that they took into consideration not only the _size_ of standard items like pallets and oil drums, but also the ease of loading/unloading them. This level of forethought in engineering shouldn't feel impressive to me (especially in a modern machine with a modern price tag), but it does. I've seen nothing in my last 5 Chevys or Fords that has led me to believe the engineers put even 10% of the consideration of user experience that the people who engineered this airplane have.

when the main competitor is an aircraft from the same parent company.

Love this plane :) Happy to fly one of her older sister a TU206G in parachute operation

A GMC Denali with wings. Never knew it was 6” wider than the Hawk I fly. Wow

Huge initial depreciation is an excellent reason to buy used.

Like - Beautiful aircraft 😎 • Cheers from Mettetal Airport. Canton, Michigan ✈️

I love this aircraft

I'm glad I got the opportunity to get checked out in a 206 years ago and now I'm back flying the might powerful TS IO -520 300 . I love how the aircraft performance is from takeoff to climb cruise power during my flight and it would be great if Cessna would design more cowling luvers for CHT but overall I manage it by my cowl flaps and power settings below 400 degrees at times and especially during my descent to prevent shock cooling from 10,000 feet or below to pattern altitude and if anyone has a 2018 Turbo 206 that needs to be delivered or justified for flight operations to carry passengers or freight then let me know so I can utilize the aircraft for you or your company

Wow, what a nice plane!!

I just saw this airplane in Georgia with Steveo1 and Mindy. A very nice sized Turbo airplane.

THANK YOU for this. OMG, this is exactly what I have been looking for. I can't even find this on the Textron site. Steve Kent, could you please do this for all of the Textron aircraft, and have them post it on the Textron site as well? I've been scouring the web looking for exactly this and was coming up empty. As a matter of fact, perhaps Textron should post a link to this video on their site. Thank You for this. I really appreciate it.

I’m curious about something he said on the ground @4:40 regarding the turbo and not needing to lean the mixture until you reach 17k feet or higher. Then @10:25 you see them leaning out the mixture when it appears that they’re at 6,600 feet. Am I missing something?

My standard size pallets are 4x4x4 and 6,000lbs. Will it haul it securely? I do not see any strap or chain securements on the flooring. Seat belt arrangement is all wrong for me.

As a kid AOPA was giving away a 206 and it was my dream airplane

5:09 Immediately recognized where you were flying, I’m based at Groton New London airport, and you can see it out the window! Lol. VERY familiar view!

Love the new 206.

Cessna, please get it certified for FIKI and I'll buy one tomorrow.

9:35 And I believe a 172 has 3 inches more wingspan than the 182. I can understand that cos the 182 has clipped wings for more speed, since it has way more power too.

so the flap won't come down when the door is open, but how about getting out when opening the door when the flaps are down, ie. in emergency?

Any aircraft that cost that much, can not be considered a working man's airplane, and you'll never pay for that machine, by doing the mail run somewhere in southeast Alaska.

I might buy that as my first ever air plane

Very nice!!

Safe to say a step above this in regards to size would be the Caravan?

Que bueno seria poder contar con toda esta explicación en español....

I always wander how could anyone open that front cargo door in case of an emergency with those big flaps extended to the landing position in case of no flap retraction.

What’s the glide ratio on that sexy tank?

Wow. ...! I love to own one.

Shoutout to “Thread City” Willimantic, Connecticut!

Great airplane!

Only problem with it is that in an emergency with flaps down (i.e. a crash) that rear door can not open blocked by the extended flaps

Nice presentation!!

I'm looking at the 206 for a potential cargo operation (island hopping).

+Biker Mike I agree w you about their missed opportunity. Don't understand why they just didn't bring back the C150-M

I’ve done factory deliveries of the t206h. Pretty much anyone can fly it. It’s about the easiest thing you’ll ever fly.

I really miss flying the C-206. The last time I flew one was mid 1990s! She was heavy on the controls and had very basic cockpit (not the flying TV rooms you see today). I would love to fly one again. Operating the 206 is like having a fat girlfriend: she doesn't dress up that well, but she sure can carry a lot.

How tall are you? The airplane looks very. small

Very nice Chicken-Hawk!

34 GAL for 166 KTAS. That is about as inefficient as an SEP gets :) still a nice aircraft 👍🏻

Just watched a video on stevo1kenvo’s flying this exact aircraft between my home airport @ Falcon Field and Heaven’s Landing in north GA

0:48: Even five-gallon buckets full of lead? Asking for a friend.

I love cessnas but the 206 is awesome

Mind boggling that they wouldn't have a fadec engine on this.

Just don’t count on opening those cargo doors after an emergency off-field crash landing with the flaps down. The 180-185 or Beaver provide safer bush operation. It’s done, but don’t even think about beach landings. The nose wheel gets in the way and a prop strike can be lethal.

So in an emergency the back seat passengers can't open the forward rear door to prevent jamming on landing? Or if they do the pilot cannot use the flaps? Will the forward rear door open fully after the flaps are deployed?

Why do they make the rear gear so short....in my opinion

Thanks for the "within reason" disclaimer!! Hahaha......

The 206 is a great skydiving jump ship.....

You can do anything in it but see over the panel.

In 1956 a new car cost on average $2050. A new Cessna 172 in that same year cost about 4 times that at $8700. An average new car in 2018 cost less than $35,000 yet a new Cessna 172 now cost almost 10 times as much. Aircraft shouldn’t cost so much but they charge crazy prices because unless you buy an aircraft kit and build it yourself, they know u don’t have a choice but to pay it.

Big fan of Cessna however it’s very sad that they used to be the airplane for the masses, not anymore. They’re basically giving the trainer segment to diamond because they no longer make the 152. It’s too bad.

Where is Mindy!?

my airplane vof dreams!

The 206 is pretty big, but he makes it look small.

So you are telling me that I'm going to buy a half million dollar airplane to carry pallets and barrels

Price?2018

What was that end? So sudden!

Where did you find this guy? Can HE not do ALL the clips, with this sort of explanatory guidance?

I want a 206 casket hauler.

Shorter than a Skylane?! I think the 1967 Skylane that I have the most time in was $26,000 brand new.

How on earth can Textron charge $680k for this aircraft, where is all the expense, the electronics, the design team, is it constructed of platinum under the paint, I cannot understand that price, out of the range of white and blue collar citizens.

Rather buy a GA8, yeah tad slower but half the maintenance cost (its faster to strip out s 208 than a 206H) and more useful load. Cessnas quality control has taken a massive dive, would be very wary of buying a new one these days.

Guys really concerned about the 50# drums. 😂. Jk I love the aircraft. Great application.

Wish i could buy one!!!

he's pretty good; could sell snow to the eskimos / oops inuit! my bad

Narrator must be 6'8 320 lbs. That plane looks tiny next to him.

My question is, how tall is Steve??

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CESSNA! But, non-pressurized and dated design? Come on Cessna! Same sentiments for the Caravan too! If offering for personal use as an option, should be able to climb above the weather with that kind of passenger capacity/room and pricing! Let's get into today or beyond, have your design engineers sharpen their pencils, and get to work. Cessna can or should be, ultra competitive in all aspects of innovation, design and pricing! YOU CAN DO IT!👍🇺🇸💪 Or Possibly introduce an updated version of the Cessna P-210, with optional power-plants. Option #1 could be a piston that can burn Jet A and option #2 could be a Turbo-prop. Offer a few panel equipment options and AOA. Try to price it accordingly and put together an agressive marketing campaign. Thoughts? (If cannot have any of the above, c an we at least request a more ergonically friendly T-handle, console mounted throttle quadrant, that would of course include a mixture control lever in that same quadrant). Although I am a "High-wing" Pilot, and a fan of Cessna, it would be very tempting if Piper reintroduced an updated version of the 6-place Saratoga, with optional or standard pressurized cabin, a couple of power-plant options (1. Piston that can burn Jet A or 2. Turbo-prop), a few panel equipment options and AOA. Again, thoughts/suggestions would be awesome. Happy/Safe Flying!

Yes I’m

BUT!! Will it fit a 55 gallon drum ON a pallet??

Por favor preço em$$$ Consumo em Avgas ..... Km Alcance milhas Com Jet-A1 ..... km Qual o tipo de Combustível usado? Esta linda Máquina tem motores a que usa Jet - A1? Bem que a Cessna poderia ter os Seus Aviões todos com Opções Jet A1!!! Pois o preço $ do Avgaz e muito CARO por aqui !

The C-207 is a much better x-wind airplane.I feel it would have been a much better choice for your up grade.

Cessna Centurion 1986 model R. It is much better than this Stationair. I can not understand why Cessna stopped making the Cessna 210. This Stationar burns twice as much fuel as a Centurion and flies more slowly.

$708,000 isn't a bad price, but I wonder about the realism of achieving a 167 kt airspeed with an IO-540 and fixed gear. Seems like magic.

Costo airplane please salute

They've got to get the cruise speed up to at least 190 knots and still not burn through the fuel, It's just too slow the way it is

Regardless of retail amount, would be nice if Cessna or Textron would style the 206 from rear glass forward, like the 177 Cardinal. A more aerodynamic front end should result in better fuel burn, increased speed and look more up to date/"sexy". A more comfortable T-handle throttle lever would be nice too. Also, a JET-A TURBO w/FADEC option and pressurized cabin would be awesome. If possible, strengthen the wing spars and no more wing struts, which is another increase in aerodynamics/speed, better aesthetics and reduced wind noise. Thats all.

It needs stow and go like my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan ;)

8:09 “this sort of gentle ass” shape hehe I know he meant S

this dude really letting them drug dealers know you can fit 55 gallon drums in the back lmfao

$600K and it's not certified IFR? No anti-ice? Did Cessna drop the T-210?
