About the Cessna 206

The Cessna 206 Stationair is Cessna's six-seat utility haul single — a high-wing workhorse prized for its big payload, double cargo doors and rugged simplicity, widely used for bush flying, cargo, skydiving and float operations. It comes in several sub-families: the standard 206 and U206 utility, the P206, the turbocharged T206 and TU206 for high-altitude work, and the stretched seven-seat 207. The Stationair returned to production in 1998 and the turbocharged T206H remains in production today. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 206, U206, T206 and Stationair listings currently on the market.

Buying a Used Cessna 206

Every Cessna 206 faces a mandatory 1,500-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $35,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,500-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 206

What are the different Cessna 206 Stationair models?
The Stationair family includes the 206 and U206 utility, the P206, the turbocharged T206 and TU206, and the stretched seven-to-eight-seat 207. All are high-wing single-engine piston utility aircraft built by Cessna.
What is the Cessna 206 used for?
The Stationair is a utility hauler — its big cabin, double cargo doors and high useful load make it popular for bush flying, cargo, skydiving, float operations and family transport.
How much does a Cessna 206 Stationair cost?
Used Stationair prices range from early U206 models at the bottom to new-production turbo T206H at the top, varying with engine time, turbo, floats and avionics. See the live price range and median above.

What is the difference between the 206 and the T206?
The standard 206 and U206 are normally aspirated; the T206 and TU206 add turbocharging for better climb and cruise at high altitude and out of high-elevation airports.

Yes — the Stationair is a popular floatplane and amphibian, and float-equipped examples are common in utility and bush roles.
How much horsepower does the Cessna 206 have?
The 206 is powered by a 300-horsepower-class Continental engine — the IO-540 on normally aspirated models and the turbocharged TSIO-540 on the T206 and TU206.

Yes. After a production gap from 1986, Cessna resumed building the 206 in 1998 and the turbocharged T206H Stationair remains in production today.
