Cessna T206H Aircraft (Turbo Stationair)

← Cessna 206 family

The Cessna T206H is the turbocharged Stationair — the same six-seat, big-door hauling mission as the normally-aspirated 206, but with a 310-hp turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540 that holds power to the high flight levels (service ceiling near 27,000 ft). That makes it the load-hauler of choice for high-density-altitude strips, mountain operations and float work, where a non-turbo 206 runs short of climb. The buy decision is turbo upkeep versus mission: if you routinely operate high, hot or heavy, the T earns its higher acquisition and maintenance cost; if not, the normally-aspirated 206 is simpler and cheaper to own.

Cessna T206H Price & Cost

How much does a Cessna T206H cost? Used T206H prices: $158K – $1.1M, average $545K (median $545K); market reference $475K, across 42 priced of 73 active listings.

Cessna T206H Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna T206H Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (16.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$9,920/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$22,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$185/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,800 hrs)$35,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The T206H's cost is the turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540 on top of big-cabin utility wear — turbo, exhaust and intercooler health plus cargo-door and corrosion checks on hard-worked airframes. The payoff is high-and-hot hauling; the cost is turbo upkeep over the simpler normally-aspirated 206H.

Buying a Used Cessna T206H

Buying a Cessna T206H comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna T206H is the turbocharged Stationair - a six-seat, fixed-gear utility single (1998-2014) powered by a 310-hp turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A. The turbocharger gives it strong high-and-hot and high-altitude load-hauling that the normally aspirated 206H cannot match, and its large cargo door and float capability make it a working airplane for backcountry, cargo and utility missions. Ownership hinges on turbo-system health - exhaust, turbocharger, heat management and cylinder history - rather than the useful-load figure alone. Compared with the 206H it adds altitude performance at higher maintenance cost; compared with a Cessna 182 it prioritizes cabin and load over speed.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna T206H

About the Cessna T206H
The Cessna T206H is the turbocharged Stationair — the same six-seat, large-cargo-door, 1,400+ lb useful-load airframe as the 206H, powered by a turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540 (310 hp). Produced from 1998 alongside the 206H, the T206H is the preferred choice for mountain operations, float work at elevation, and high-density-altitude missions where the naturally-aspirated 206H loses meaningful climb performance.
T206H vs 206H — when is the turbo worth it?
The turbo pays off when operations are consistently above 8,000 ft or in hot-and-high conditions (mountain airports, summer high-altitude float ops). Below that, the 206H is simpler and less expensive to own — the turbocharger, exhaust system, and intercooler add maintenance cost and complexity. The T206H commands a higher acquisition price; whether that premium makes sense depends almost entirely on your typical operating environment.
What should I inspect on a used T206H?
All 206H items (TIO-540 fuel injection, cargo door, landing gear, seat rail AD) plus turbo-specific: turbocharger bearing play and condition, wastegate function, exhaust system cracks, and intercooler. The TIO-540 is a powerful engine with good reliability, but turbo components must be treated as a maintenance priority.
How much does the T206H cost to operate versus the 206H?
Higher fuel burn at typical cruise power settings, plus turbocharger overhaul as an additional scheduled expense. The TIO-540 is also a larger-displacement engine with a higher overhaul cost than the naturally-aspirated IO-540. For current prices, see live listings above; for cost direction, see the on-page cost section.
Is the T206H still in production?
Yes — the T206H (Turbo Stationair) is a current-production aircraft from Textron Aviation. Parts and factory support are current.
