Cessna 206

What is operational cost for cessna 206? Is it much more expensive then c172? And how much fuel does it burns? Tried to find those information but I can't. So I would be very grateful if someone could provide me with these information. Thanks! Fuel cost is the biggest difference. I plan on burning 14 gph with a normal 206; 15-17 gph with a turbo. A 172 burns 8 or 9 gph. The 206 is faster, but not quite fast enough to make up for the difference. An annual for a 206 is likely to cost somewhat more than a 172, but not enough to make a huge difference in operational cost. It depends on how well you take care of it. The other big difference is engine overhaul. A 206 overhaul costs about 1.5 times what a 172 overhaul costs. The prop costs a lot more to maintain and overhaul in a 206 than does a 172 and it is more prone to problems simply because of its complexity. The 206 tends to have more expensive avionics, with a greater cost in upkeep. Hull insurance for a 206 will be higher simply because it is a more expensive airplane. I think the 206 is actually a little easier to fly than the 172, but that is a personal opinion. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |
