About the Cessna U206G
The Cessna U206G Stationair is a six-seat, single-engine utility aircraft known for its exceptional load-carrying ability and rugged construction. Powered by a Continental IO-520 engine burning approximately 14 gallons per hour, the U206G features a large double cargo door on the right side, making it ideal for hauling oversized cargo, skydiving operations, and bush flying.
Variable hourly costs average around $160, with annual fixed costs near $22,000. The fixed-gear, high-wing design provides excellent access to remote and unimproved airstrips, while the six-seat cabin and generous useful load make the Stationair one of the most versatile single-engine aircraft ever produced.
The Cessna U206G appeals to bush pilots, cargo operators, skydiving centers, and practical-minded owners who need to carry heavy loads to difficult destinations. The U designation indicates the utility version with double cargo doors. It is a workhorse in Alaska, Canada, and developing nations where rugged utility and payload are essential.

Cessna U206G Price & Cost
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 U206G Value by Model Year
Median asking price by year of manufacture. Newer airframes command a premium; value falls with age then plateaus on older models.
Lowest around $389,000 (1999 models) · highest around $895,000 (2022). Bars scaled across the range to show the depreciation curve; hover for exact medians.
Buying a Used Cessna U206G
Every Cessna U206G faces a mandatory 1,800-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 1,800-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.
