Aircraft Manufacturer: Cessna
Model: T206H
About the Cessna T206H
On safety, the Cessna T206H sits at about one in five within the cohort of the same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range, where a higher percentile means a higher accident rate. Read in that cohort, the T206H carries a lower accident rate than most comparable types. The type records about 2.6 accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years over its FAA-registration exposure. Of 38 recorded accidents, 10 were fatal.
The Cessna T206H ranks as the 29th-largest active fleet in Cessna's lineup, with more than 600 aircraft on the U.S. civil registry. That presence amounts to about 1% of Cessna's total active registered fleet. Of all registry records ever held for the type, about 60% remain on the U.S. civil registry today.
The Cessna T206H carries six active airworthiness directives, which is also the total ever issued against the type. The most recent AD applicable to the T206H is dated May 2, 2007.

What sellers are asking for the Cessna T206H, across current listings, grouped by model year.
As of October 16, 2026. How we calculate this.
| Years | Currency | Typical asking range | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2015–2019 | USD | ≈ $780k – $850k | ≈ $820k |
These are asking prices, not sale prices. What any one aircraft asks or sells for can swing widely with airframe and engine condition, damage history, avionics, paint and interior, logbooks and service records, and plenty else a listing never shows.
Safety Analysis
Composition of NTSB accident records for this model in general-aviation operations (FAR Part 91 and 137), based on NTSB data as of May 1, 2026. It's a breakdown of recorded accidents rather than a safety rating, and types with significant non-GA operation (such as Part 135) may be under-represented.
Accidents are identity-confirmed against FAA registration records (two independent sources).

Aircraft-years of FAA registration exposure (2008–present).
Within its peer cohort
Within this model's peer class (same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range), comparison of its share of recorded NTSB accidents to its share of FAA registration exposure (aircraft-years since 2008).
This is a share comparison, not flight-hours adjusted, so a model flown more per airframe than its peers will show an accident share above its exposure share even if its per-hour safety is average. Methodology →
Accidents by year
Recorded NTSB general-aviation accidents per calendar year, derived directly from the NTSB accident database. Each bar shows the accidents that occurred in that year. Methodology →
Investigations take 12–36 months to finalise, so the trailing years come in incomplete. Recent years are adjusted upward for that lag. Observed counts show as solid bars, the lag-adjusted estimate shows hatched.
Phase of flight
Which phase of flight each accident occurred in, as coded by the NTSB. Most accidents happen in the phases where most flying time is concentrated, so this isn't a measure of which phase is most dangerous.
Finding category
Top-level NTSB cause category, from the coded investigation findings. An accident often has more than one finding, so totals here can exceed the recorded accident count.
Injury severity
NTSB classification of the worst injury in each accident: None, Minor, Serious, or Fatal. Each accident counts in exactly one severity.
