Note: Cessna is not a sponsor of this channel and I was not compensated by them for making this video. All opinions are my own. Big thanks to ‪@CessnaAircraftCo‬ for allowing me to experience this incredible airplane and share it with others!
I've always wanted to fly a Cessna 206 Stationair since it is the big brother to my Cessna 182, and on paper it seems like it could be the perfect airplane long-term as my family grows. But I wanted to experience it in real life and see how it flew and if it was worth the hype. After spending a few days in it, I can say with confidence that this airplane is an absolute beast. I am working on a full debrief with my opinions on this airplane, and when it posts I'll put the link here.

Hey guys! I wanted to let you know I just launched an "Insiders" Newsletter where once a week I'm sharing an important lesson I've learned in aviation, links to my latest content so you don't miss out, and links to any other interesting or helpful content I've found. I'm also working on a HUGE project I can't announce yet but I'm going to be sharing more behind the scenes info with Insiders first - Subscribe (it's free) at: airplaneacademy.com/insiders

It is a great plane with a lot of utility, very predictable flight characteristics, and a solid IFR platform. The modern avionics, upgraded oxygen systems, and a/c have taken the aircraft to another level. Well done!

@neekonsaadat2532 3 ай бұрын

The flap safety switch is an iffy design choice. If passengers pop the doors in an emergency landing, the pilot will be unable to deploy flaps before touchdown. This could be a serious hazard, please consider adding an override! For instance, ignition engaged could be a simple override as you most likely intend to have doors and flaps at the same time if the engine is running and the doors are opened. Beautiful aircraft though!

Fantastic aircraft that does the mission it’s built for and more. Just can’t understand the current price tag on it, $750k? I feel like that’s a bit absurd especially for an aircraft that is good but isn’t much more than a slightly larger 182. You can buy significantly more capable aircraft for a lot less. Extremely large price tag for an aircraft with pulleys and levers, aluminum frame, and the same cockpit avionics package as a 172S. No doubt an extremely capable plane but just doesn’t offer anything else beyond being good at its mission coming with a premium price tag.

Every pilot south of the Rio Grande swears by the 206. She's the real bush plane in hot/high/jungle environments; you won't see taildraggers doing bush work in MEX, COL, or BRA. I saw one in April at AERO 2024 in Friedrichshafen, and she looks like made for me. I hope my bank account is fat enough some day.
