Cessna 206 Stationair

It comes close to hauling anything you can fit into its cabin, but expect to pay a premium for later G1000 and turbo models.

For pilots moving up the Cessna food chain, the Cessna 206 Stationair isn’t a bad choice if the mission includes hauling people or stuff (or both). With the right transition training it should be easy to handle for those coming out of Skyhawks and Skylanes, it’s stable for IFR flying and just about any competent mechanic can wrench it.
