Aircraft Financing Considerations

What Lenders Look For

  • Turbo models (T206/TU206) have higher mx costs
  • Check total cycles and heavy-haul history
  • Cargo ops may mean hard use—inspect carefully
  • Insurance reflects utility/commercial use

Pre-Buy Inspection Focus Areas

A thorough pre-buy inspection is essential before purchasing any aircraft. For the Cessna 206 Stationair, pay special attention to:

  • Cargo door hinges and seals
  • Engine mount condition
  • Landing gear attach points
  • Fuel bladder condition
  • Interior wear from cargo use
