Why the Cessna 206 for special mission?
The Cessna 206 is the workhorse of airborne law enforcement. Most every agency in the US and around the world fly the Cessna 206 as part of their air support unit.
With our system installed there is still a useful load of 1285lbs.
With the payload fully retracted in the aircraft, our system doesn’t extend the takeoff distance.
All other aircraft performance remains the same.
