Calculate the Cessna 206H Stationair weight, CG and takeoff distance
Your own empty mass (weighing report, optional)
The POH has no standard empty moment for this model – enter the empty mass CG from your weighing report to get the CG.
Leave empty to use the typical POH empty mass. Your aircraft's weighing report is what counts.
Calculated on the BriefingPal server from the POH data. Nothing is stored, no cookie. Planning aid only – the POH/AFM and your weighing report are authoritative.

Cessna 206H Stationair takeoff and landing distance
BriefingPal result from the POH charts at MTOW, no wind, dry paved runway, normal procedure, default flap setting, without safety factor. Use the calculator above for your mass, airfield, temperature and wind.
| Conditions | Takeoff ground roll | Takeoff over 50 ft | Landing over 50 ft | Landing ground roll |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sea level, 15 °C | 280 m (910 ft) | 565 m (1,860 ft) | 425 m (1,400 ft) | 225 m (740 ft) |

How to do the Cessna 206H Stationair weight and balance
- Enter the loadingWeights of pilot, passengers and baggage per station, fuel in litres or US gallons. Each station limit and the MTOW are checked.
- Use your own empty massOptional: enter empty mass and empty CG from the weighing report of your Cessna 206H Stationair. Without it the typical POH empty mass is used.
- Check CG and massThe traffic light shows whether the takeoff mass and the CG with and without fuel lie within the envelope of the POH.
- Takeoff and landingElevation, QNH, temperature, wind and runway give the takeoff and landing distance – compared with the runway length if you enter it.

Cessna 206H Stationair – frequently asked questions
What is the MTOW of the Cessna 206H Stationair?
The maximum takeoff mass of the Cessna 206H Stationair is 1,633 kg (3,600 lb) according to the POH.
How much usable fuel does the Cessna 206H Stationair carry?
87 US gal (329 L) usable (total capacity 92 US gal (348 L)). With the typical POH empty mass and full fuel, about 394 kg (868 lb) remain for people and baggage.
How long is the takeoff distance of the Cessna 206H Stationair?
At MTOW, sea level, 15 °C and no wind the ground roll is about 280 m (910 ft) and the distance over 50 ft about 565 m (1,860 ft). At 5,000 ft and 25 °C it grows to about 1,030 m (3,380 ft). The calculator above gives the value for your conditions.
How do I calculate the CG of the Cessna 206H Stationair?
Multiply each mass by its arm, add up the moments and divide by the total mass – the calculator above does this with the stations of the Cessna 206H Stationair POH (seat row 1, seat row 2, seat row 3, baggage area 1, baggage area 2, baggage area 3, baggage area 4, baggage area 5, fuel) and checks the CG against the envelope.
How does the Cessna 206H Stationair differ from other Cessna 206 Stationair models?
BriefingPal has 4 Cessna 206 Stationair models on file. Compared with them the Cessna 206H Stationair has an MTOW of 1,633 kg (3,600 lb) (range 1,633–1,633 kg), 87 US gal (329 L) usable fuel and a takeoff distance over 50 ft of 565 m (1,860 ft) at MTOW.
Is the Cessna 206H Stationair weight and balance calculator free?
Yes. The calculator on this page and the BriefingPal app are free and need no account. The app adds route planning, weather, NOTAM, fuel planning and a briefing PDF.
Data source
All figures come from the Pilot's Operating Handbook / Airplane Flight Manual of the Cessna 206H Stationair (weight and balance and performance sections) and are computed with the BriefingPal engine – the same calculation as in the app. Planning aid only; the original POH/AFM and the weighing report of your aircraft remain authoritative.
