Cessna’s Moose Carrying 206
Cessna sent a new 206 Turbo Stationair HD to Sun ‘n Fun 2017 in Lakeland, Florida, and AVweb crawled all over it to report on the updates. From the cockpit, the plane feels like a really nice Cessna 182 with the new Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck, but up front there’s a turbocharged Lycoming producing 310 hp. That 310 hp is how the big piston Cessna gets its maximum useful load of 1,623 pounds–if you’re willing to remove all the seats save one.
