Yeah those 2017 tax cuts by DJT and a booming market have ruined it for the common guys dreams of getting into GA as an owner. ( FACTS) please. I think without a lot of money ownership is simply not an option for a lot of us regardless of politics.
The days of cheap money are over. $750,000 for a new plane is ridiculous. I wonder if this can fly too. Still not worth it… Buy used. Used prices are ridiculous too. The BIG CRASH is coming soon…
$750,000 for a PISTON airplane….and you can’t take it into a single cloud below freezing temperatures. Jeez, do you think you MIGHT run into freezing temperatures at 20-26,000 feet? Ridiculous.
Too costly over $700,000 grand plus short range of only 703 nm. 6 seat's are good and the service ceiling is good but the climb rate is not good. Also, you have to contend with three separate control for fuel, throttle, and mixture instead of single power lever if I was loaded I'd buy a cirrus sr22t
These new 206s are performance toads. At 9,000, a $270k Cessna 185E or F model will outclimb it, and with 8.00 tires outrun it, with a lot more range. You are not going to be able to utilize that turbo anywhere near as much as you think. And the annual on that plane will eat you alive. You would spend a lot less flying everywhere 1st Class on a airliner.
We general aviation pilots are just hopeless for getting a new plane. These planes cost more than the homes in my gated golf and country club . They will eliminate middle class pilots from having a new plane
It appears Cessna hasn’t taken heed to the flaw with their starboard side cargo door system which with flaps down, will not allow the clam doors to open enough to escape should an emergency arise. Fortunately there is an aftermarket “fix” for that but it is a steep cost, the trailing edge(corner) of the forward cargo door folds inward out of the way allowing the doors to be opened with flaps down. You can also add a passenger side front door, also a steep cost(mod). On top of $750,000? Now you’re looking at a $1,000,000 airplane.
Yeah, are you gonna start flying at altitude above 8,000 or 10,000 you better think about oxygen 700 miles last night so good, ideal for load, hauling short haul
OUR OFFICIAL STORE IS NOW LIVE AT aviationbase.co
Should be no more than half of that price. I guess we can blame the lawyers and insurance companies.
Millionares used to by jets, now they buy 206s. Ain't democrats great.
Sadly.....true

@@boydcurtis2865 so you have more excess cash now than then?
Nope but only because I retired. The investments have done well but I am a conservative investor.

I have until it would not maintain level flight. Flew everywhere SP IFR everywhere.

Well spoken
Guess that puts me out of the game
It’s doesn’t worth it . The best C206 were made in the 80’s and 90’s
That price is OUTRAGEOUS!
750 for a fukn 206??
NO!
Even if I HAD the money!

I agree, unfortunately that's the sad reality we live in nowadays...
I think the only information error was the weather radar.

Year?
Great Hauler but slow and Fuel Hog. Insurance is off the chart, declare bankruptcy at Annual Time...: (
No thanks, I’ll have a Caravan 😅
known ice is mandatory
The excellent presentation was spoiled by the constant repetition of the same information!
Beautiful plane.

Good Day. Excellent Review on a beautiful Aircraft. Thank You
Comfortable? Looks crampy. For that price should be more roomy.
Soon
Ground roll of 1,970 feet? SRSLY? That had eliminates about 50% of the strips I go into in my Cessna 205.
the cessna website lists it at just over 1000 feet. i think they got the wrong spec here
For$750,000 161 kt. Cruise is not worth it!
The minimum wage will have to rise a lot.
all the way to pretoria
When will Cessna get rid of the propeller control like Cirrus?
And not even with RG
Ideal
yip
cocaine cocaine, here I come :)
😂
Why not call it the Cessna 206, that's what everybody calls it.
Is available or sold??
This is just a review of the plane
