Take to the skies with the T206H, known for its payload versatility and easy handling. Perfect for a wide range of missions, this aircraft is your reliable partner for any adventure.
Fly an early 2000s (2000-2005) model 206H, equipped with a turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A engine providing 300 hp. With seating for six passengers and a useful load of 1,320 lbs (600 kg), you'll have the capacity for all your needs.
Enjoy a 3.5 hour cruise range and the capability to use smaller fields. Experience the flexibility and fun of flying the T206H, the true "SUV of the skies."
Disclaimer
This project has no connection to Textron or the Cessna brand and is intended to offer a commentary about the flight characteristics and immersion of an aircraft with this type of configuration. The modeling was based on photographs of several different aircraft and was not intended to bear the likeness of any individual actual aircraft.
Installation
Unzip and copy the sal1800-cessna-t206h-stationair folder into your Community folder.
In this Package:
This addon package comes with two flyable aircraft: standard tires or tundra tires. The flight model is identical except for the landing gear configuration.
Each aircraft has two liveries. One is the default steam gauge model (red stripes) and the other features upgraded avionics (blue stripes). More livery designs and colors will be available in future versions. A paint kit will also be released in a future update to allow anyone to make mods.
Features
This package features several special features:
- Pilot and Copilot models will appear automatically in exterior view if their payload weight is more than 80 lbs.
- No camera barriers, you can move the cockpit camera anywhere
- Pilot's door can be opened via the lever or by the tablet interface
- Rear doors can be opened by first operating the lever in the forward door and then operating the lever on the edge of the aft door. These doors can also be opened/closed via the tablet.
- Windows can be opened by their latches or via the tablet
- Cowl flaps are operable via the lever in the virtual cockpit or using the hardware axis for spoilers.
- Four vents in the forward part of the cockpit can be opened via mouse.
- Sun visors can be moved down and slid left and right via mouse dragging
- Belly-mounted cargo pod can be enabled via the tablet
- Belly pod door can be opened with the tablet or clicking the door (if you move the cockpit camera outside)
- Rear seats can be removed via the tablet
- Cargo can be loaded via the tablet. To load the center and aft cargo, the seat must be removed first. You can set whatever weight you want for the cargo and/or passengers
- Glove box can be opened using the latch
- Instrument views. Close up of different parts of the panel. Plus some "GoPro" camera views. You can switch through the instrument views with the keybinds (default is ctrl + 0-9)
- Overhead flood lights with dimmer controls and swivel.
- Tundra tire variant uses SU15 ground handling.
Takeoff
Takeoff Performance:
Ground Roll: 910 ft (277.37 m)
50 ft. obstacle: 1740 ft (530.41 m)
Normal takeoffs should not require flaps. Trim up a bit, more if the CG is forward. Cowl flaps closed. Prop and mixture in, full throttle. Manifold pressure should be kept at 39 in. Hg max. There is a limiter to the throttle to keep the MAP from going too much higher than that. It should begin to lift around 70 knots. When it picks up some speed it will climb easily at 1,000 fpm.
Cruise
As you level off, reduce the propeller to around 2,300 RPM and reduce the throttle to below 30 inches of MAP. Trim up the aircraft for level flight.
You can reduce the mixture to improve economy. Monitor the fuel flow gauge as you lean the mixture. You should be able to reduce the flow rate by at least 5 gal per hour without any reduction of engine performance.
If you want to lean to the most efficient condition, monitor the TIT temperature to find the peak.
This is not the fastest G.A. cruiser out there so expect around 120 kts (222 km/h).
Landing
Landing Performance:
Ground Roll: 735 ft (224.03 m)
50 ft. obstacle: 1395 ft (425.51 m)
Your decent and landing should be smooth and uneventful by slowing down and keeping the nose level. Maintain around 10 inches of manifold pressure to keep the engine happy.
When your speed is below the white arc and weather conditions permit, lower the first stage of flaps. At this point, you can fly a controlled pattern and as slow as you want.
The landing is typically a bit nose high. You can use the landing view to improve the view of the runway or look to the sides.
