Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair Specs: Weights, V-Speeds, Cruise

Q: How fast does a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair cruise?

Per the POH cruise table, up to about 163 KTAS at 20,000 ft on a standard day, burning roughly 19 GPH at that setting. Typical everyday cruise settings are slower and leaner.

Q: How much fuel does a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair hold?

87 gallons usable. At a high-cruise burn of 19 GPH that is roughly 4.6 hours to dry tanks. Plan with reserves, never to zero.

Q: What is the useful load of a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair?

The handbook gives a maximum useful load of 1303 lb: its 3617 lb maximum ramp weight minus a standard empty weight of 2314 lb for a standard-equipped airplane. Ramp weight sits 17 lb above the 3600 lb maximum takeoff weight to allow for the fuel burned during start, taxi and runup. Use your aircraft's own weight-and-balance records, not handbook figures.

Q: What is the Vne of a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair?

VNE (never exceed) is 182 kt and VNO (max structural cruising) is 149 kt. Verify against the POH for your serial number.

How much runway does a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair need?

Handbook figures at 3600 lb, 0 ft pressure altitude, 10 °C. Real-world technique, wind, surface, and density altitude move these substantially, so apply your own margin (many pilots use 1.5× the book number) and run the numbers for the actual conditions.

Handbook figure	Distance
Takeoff ground roll	885 ft
Takeoff over a 50 ft obstacle	1685 ft
Landing ground roll	720 ft
Landing over a 50 ft obstacle	1375 ft
Rate of climb	1015 fpm

See how density altitude stretches these distances on a hot day.

Takeoff distance

Flaps 20 deg; 2500 RPM, 39 in.hg. and mixture set at 34 GPH prior to brake release; cowl flaps open; paved, level, dry runway; zero wind

Common Questions

How fast does a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair cruise?

Per the POH cruise table, up to about 163 KTAS at 20,000 ft on a standard day, burning roughly 19 GPH at that setting. Typical everyday cruise settings run slower and leaner; see the table above.

How much fuel does a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair hold?

87 gallons usable. At a high-cruise burn of 19 GPH that is roughly 4.6 hours to dry tanks. Plan with reserves, never to zero.

What is the useful load of a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair?

The handbook gives a maximum useful load of 1303 lb: its 3617 lb maximum ramp weight minus a standard empty weight of 2314 lb for a standard-equipped airplane. Ramp weight sits 17 lb above the 3600 lb maximum takeoff weight to allow for the fuel burned during start, taxi and runup. Your aircraft's actual empty weight and CG come from its own weight-and-balance records. Always use those, not handbook figures.

What is the Vne of a Cessna T206H Turbo Stationair?

V_NE (never exceed) is 182 kt and V_NO (max structural cruising) is 149 kt. Full V-speed table above; verify against the POH for your serial.
