Cessna 207 Stationair
The Cessna 207 Stationair is a single-engine, high-wing utility aircraft celebrated for its versatility, durability, and impressive payload capacity. A stretched variant of the Cessna 206, the 207 Stationair is a workhorse in the private charter industry, capable of transporting passengers and cargo with ease. Its robust design and exceptional adaptability make it a popular choice for clients who value efficiency and reliability in regional and remote travel scenarios.
Performance Capabilities
The Cessna 207 Stationair is powered by a 300-horsepower Continental IO-520-F engine, providing excellent performance for a range of missions. With a cruising speed of approximately 140 knots (161 mph) and a maximum range of 630 nautical miles, the aircraft is ideal for short- to medium-haul flights. Its powerful engine ensures reliable operation even in challenging conditions, from high-altitude airstrips to remote locations with minimal infrastructure.
One of the Stationair’s standout features is its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. It requires only 1,500 feet for takeoff and 1,350 feet for landing, enabling it to operate from unpaved airstrips, gravel runways, and other rugged terrains. This ability to access remote locations makes the 207 Stationair a favorite for charter operators serving adventure seekers, rural communities, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Interior and Comfort Details
The Cessna 207 Stationair offers a spacious and functional interior, accommodating up to seven passengers, including the pilot. The cabin dimensions—11 feet 8 inches in length, 3 feet 6 inches in width, and 4 feet 1 inch in height—provide ample headroom and legroom for a comfortable travel experience. The high-wing design enhances visibility, allowing passengers to enjoy panoramic views, making it an excellent choice for sightseeing or scenic flights.
The Stationair’s interior is highly customizable, allowing operators to adapt the cabin to suit different missions. Passengers benefit from ergonomic seating and large windows, while the aircraft’s generous cargo capacity supports both luggage and bulky items. With a maximum payload of approximately 1,800 pounds, the 207 Stationair is perfect for carrying both passengers and cargo, making it a dual-purpose aircraft.
Large double cargo doors at the rear facilitate easy loading and unloading, while the rugged floor design ensures durability when transporting heavy or oversized items. These features, combined with its flexible seating arrangements, make the Stationair an ideal choice for a variety of charter needs.
Specific Features and Innovations
The Cessna 207 Stationair is designed for durability and performance in demanding environments. Its high-wing configuration enhances stability during flight and provides excellent ground clearance for operations on uneven terrain. The fixed tricycle landing gear is built to handle the stresses of rough runways, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Modern avionics, including optional Garmin G1000 systems, equip the Stationair with advanced navigation, weather updates, and autopilot capabilities. These features enhance safety, operational efficiency, and ease of use for pilots, resulting in a smoother flight experience for passengers.
Additionally, the Stationair’s fuel-efficient engine and relatively low operating costs make it a cost-effective solution for private charter operators. Its combination of performance and economy ensures long-term reliability and profitability.
