The Cessna U206F is a powerful, six-seat utility aircraft, part of the widely respected Cessna 206 family. Its design focuses on high performance and cargo capacity, making it a workhorse for diverse operations, including challenging field conditions. The manufacturer, Cessna, established itself as a foundational name in general aviation. The original Model 206 was introduced in 1964 and production ran until 1986. Following a hiatus, the successful single-engine line, including the 206, was brought back into service in 1998 due to persistent market demand.
A variety of access systems are utilized for detailed maintenance on this aircraft. For reaching the upper components of the airframe, solutions such as the Reach Deck Platform and Ultraraise provide ideal positioning for tasks on the Wing & Engine Pylon (e.g., engine body, anti-ice systems) and the Tail Section’s vertical and horizontal stabilizers.
The structure of the Forward Fuselage and Middle Fuselage, including the cargo access and wing box area, benefits from the integration of Modular Stepover Platforms and the Bridge Deck, ensuring technicians can clear obstructions and safely navigate the fuselage. For close-in work around the Landing Gear and low-level access to the Nose Section (windshield and cockpit), systems like the Super Service Stand and Aviation Chock and Cone Trolley provide specialized and secure support. For detailed, methodical work on the AFT Fuselage and other general access points, the Cantilever Platform and Branach Fibreglass Platform are used, offering high degrees of flexibility and security.
